Everything’s Going to be All Right

Just tell me everything’s going to be all right;
that the bed bugs won’t bite and ghosts won’t come tonight,
that they won’t haunt me in my dreams
because its dreams all I have left, so it seems.

Just tell me everything’s going to be all right;
that in this cold night you’ll hold me tight,
so that I won’t feel so alone and oh so sad
because being with you is the best I’ve ever had.

Just tell me everything’s going to be all right;
that I’ll hear your voice through the night,
singing me lullabies to keep the sadness away
and that happiness is here to stay.

Just tell me everything’s going to be all right
so that I don’t keep putting up a fight.
I’ll put on a strong front instead,
and smile at them as if everything’s been said.

Just tell me everything’s going to be all right,
because right now, it’s all that I need.

Twenty-first of December

I am with him,
and he was with her.

We joined in an ecstasy beyond words
yet he still yearned for her.

What more could I do
than to runaway from
all the mysteries he shows to me?

His profile was sublime pulchritude
and I would devote myself to him
yet he does not see the same in me, what shame.

But maybe
the sweet process shall work its magic
little by little, just give me time
and both  him and his mind shall be mine.

If I Told You (Part 1): Bittersweet

In partial fulfillment of my final assignment to my mentor

~

Once upon a time, I was nothing.
I was in that room, filled with people,
sharing the same light of passion that I had.

Then I saw you. And then we talked.
That’s how I remember how we met.

I remember the work I had in my hands right back then,
the way she gestured when she introduced me to you,
the look on your face when you looked at my work,
the sparkle on your eyes when you adored mine.

And time walked on with me,
I faced my battles and you fought yours.
You were faraway while I was scarred deep.
But we kept on connecting the dots
and filling in colors into spaces we never knew.

Then I knew, my heart was beating only for you.
The songs were right, it changed my mood
from down below to not so blue and right on cue.
It was such sweet serendipity.

It feels all too stupid now. What even happened?
Oh right. The light changed.

I went on ahead with my path and left you with yours.
You walked on your own, yet still staggered along.
I did my best to lead you back on the right track
but you didn’t follow.

You fooled me with honey-glazed words,
and kept traveling from left to right.
You took away what was good to repeat
and turned it bittersweet.

How could you do this to me?
For before I had my faith in you, couldn’t you see?
All of that and now I’m singing don’t say goodbye
You thought I was fooling around too, didn’t you?

I never really thought of getting back at you,
the fountain of knowledge was nothing
but a coincidence of things being there at the wrong time.
Still immaturity showed its true color to me.

Your face changed and so did mine.
I learned new things I so did you (I hope).
But you made me do this.
I have to move on.

You were wrong. And I was wrong as well.
I thought things would never change.
But in a call, you turned my life around
and you were nowhere to be found.

But thank you though for all this you have given me,
for if you were not there, the truth of all this, I wouldn’t have seen.

Thank you, for nothing tastes better
than bittersweet chocolate on Valentine’s Day.
