I Who Never

(an ode to the hurting)

You never told me to stay.
You never did.

But I waited.
Patiently. Silently.
For you to tire
From your conquests.

Secretly
I grieved.
Dry tears flowing
Down my bruised cheeks.

I waited.
Patiently. Silently.
I never complained.

You touched me.
Hit me.
Raped me.
Hurt me.

I prayed
That you'd stop.
For just once
Let me catch my breath.

But you never did.

I hurt.
But I never complained.

You never told me to stay.
You never did.

Why am I still here?

The following are just some of my poems, essays, prose, etc., which I have written throughout my interesting-at-one-time-and-then-boring-the-next lifetime. All these works are, proud to say, original.

Most are old postings (which explains the old date stamp) that I have salvaged from my now defunct homepage. I will--God knows when and how--start writing again. New ones will have updated time and date stamps.

For now...enjoy.

generally misunderstood, i am the proverbial "mentos" persona: crunchy/strong on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. i speak my mind, and articulate my emotions...within bounds of tact, but never sugar-coated or "pa-tweetums". i am determined to be more patient by the day, although i'm still struggling to emancipate myself from a possible hero complex. i practice "isusubo ko na lang, ibibigay ko pa sa iba" to a fault. i dance like nobody's watching...or as if everybody is watching. i pray like a saint, but cuss like a truck driver. i comfortably transform from corporate formal to society papparazzi-worthy to kanto jologs/barok. i have been branded a "flirt" and a "tease"...and i never contradict.
