Another Sad Line Poem by Jemme Simbulan

Another sad line,
Another cry,
Once again I write these things,
Not hoping you'll read it…

I remember our laughs,
Those that I've frozen,
The cheers we had,
I all mislead them.

Forgive me now, forgive me tomorrow,
I blew everything,
Away, away from you and me,
We lost everything.

I forgot how to miss you,
But you're always in my heart,
I miss everything we would do,
Those things? They will never happen again right?

A joke, the lies, all end up in my death…
In your heart, in your mem'ry,
Have you forgotten already?
My name, my face all soaked in shame.

Tears! These useless tears,
My humiliated face dried them up,
Hate me, curse me,
Weak I am… Weaker now…

Was it courage? Or was it conscience?
I say both killed me,
My lying mouth has affirmed,
Forgiveness, anyone?

Haunting these mem'ries anywhere, everywhere…
Cowardice escorts me to restlessness
I see you, I see me,
Such a bittersweet mem'ry…
