The Empty Space In My Head

So what? Stuff happens in life and...who cares if you're ready, right? You just do it!

When It Fades Into Nothing

FACT: A supernova's explosion travels billions of light years to reach the earth. What we're seeing, that extra bright twinkling star right there, that incredible burst of gases and energy and such, actually happened about 600 years ago.

An illusion or more like remnants of what's no longer there.

Pareho pa rin ang kislap sa mga mata mo.
May kaunting pagbabago nga lang.
May bahid ng kalungkutan na pinagtatakpan ng panandaliang tuwa
na dulot ng ating muling pagkikita.
Ang lamyos ng iyong boses sa tuwing sasambitin mo ang pangalan ko,
pareho pa rin ang tono.
Kahit na may katigasan na ito,
naroon pa rin ang lambing.
Ang hawak mo sa aking kamay,
ang iyong haplos,
ang mga maingat mong daliring dahan dahang gumagapang sa aking mukha,
siya pa ring nagbibigay ng kakaibang kabog sa aking dibdib.

Sa pagsalubong ng ating titig ang siyang gumising sa katotohanan.
Kung ano man ang naroon noon,
nandyan pa rin ngayon.
Hindi man kita lahat,
andyan lang.
Tignan mo lang ng mabuti.
'Kita mo ba?
'Kita ko eh.

O baka namalikmata lang ako.

Funny, isn't it? That blackholes are the invisible offspring of supernovas.
When a large star has burnt all its fuel it explodes into a supernova.
A bright, massive, magnificent display of light.
A visual fiesta twinkling in the velvet sky just before it goes into nothingness.

I'm still seeing the supenova though the blackhole sucked you in eons ago.

It won't be long now.

Stationary Solace

If you think you charmed me in that talented, neurotic, overlymoussed hair sort o' way, think again.

How can someone be so offensive and be so charming all at the same time?

Little by little, the wall I've built for so long crumbled before my eyes.
Why?
Because of that wrecking ball you call concern was thrown and caught me offguard.

As I watched you walk across the room, I tried to run to the opposite direction. But it seems like my feet were planted on the ground.

Your arms embraced my whole being. I had to hold on to you to keep myself from surrendering to the weak feeling in my knees. Tears welled up in my eyes but they remained unwept. I clung to you as I totally let go of myself.

You finally got to me.
