I want you to ask me;
ask me anything
ask me to make time for you
ask me to buy you food
ask me to stay with you
to hold you 'cause your shit's tough
and you need my love that's rough
to make you feel better
to understand you
to let you be.

I want you to ask me.

'Cause it feels like I'm the one who does that
always.

I just want you to ask me.
I just want you to demand from me something I couldn't give you--

'Cause I keep demanding from you what you cannot give me
anymore.

Magparaya

Hindi ko na kaya; at
Ayaw kong mapuno
Ng poot ang puso.
Pusong ito,
Lumalamig
Ulit, nanginginig.
Ngunit tama na
Titigilan ko na.
Ako'y magpaparaya
Sa aking mga nadarama.
Gusto ko na
Sumaya.
Panahon na
Upang muling
Ibigin ka
Ng buo, at ng malaya.

M

To be sure

I take a few steps
away from
the past.

Trying not to
look back
but;

I do.

A deep breath,
and I sigh.

Then
I smile;
turn again; and

I
walk farther,
content.
