When I met you
I’ve always wondered
How I’ve never met
Anyone quite like you
When we parted
I’ve always wondered
How everyone else
Reminded me of you
TRUTH
You read these things
And you ask the world,
Why doesn't it happen
To someone like you?
Deep in your heart
You know the answer:
It's because you don't let it.
IN A NUTHSELL
I'm not brave enough to love you
The same way
You're not strong enough to take me on.
Heartbreak never really was my thing, sadly, as well as poetry.
Honestly, this was more of an unfamiliar territory for me and for the most part, I like swimming through this kind of stuff BUT I can't really say it hits "right in the feels". This book for me is flavored in contrasting tastes. I liked the segmented and offbeat rhythm the poems have but sometimes it comes off bland and troublesome. The words, however, are cut raw in the flesh of the pages unfiltered and edgy. I think that's the magical material that keeps this book intact. But aside from that, I was actually surprised that this was written by a Filipina haha! Shooked huh? Overall this was a 3.5 for me. It's just a fast read so yeah, support our writers pls!
