J.C. Masa Poems

Just a man trying his best,
Even the man in the mirror he cannot impress.
Still bleeding from the wounds that will never heal,
My body is tired, but my mind never rests.
...

Being with you feels like home, you offer me hope and the will to carry on.
You bring me peace with your presence when I'm at war with myself alone.

How I wish I could live that ephemeral euphoria again,
...

You looked so beautiful last night; I was at ease.
Your eyes light up every time you smile.
Stealing glances at you, I can't resist—
It set me in a deep realization, and 'what ifs':
...

I once had it all; never thought that I would fall like this.
Took my shot, and I missed.
Momentary bliss, I guess.
Went to the stars and hell and back—but I'm fine.
...

I watch you laugh,
I watch you shine—
I'm wishing, somehow,
you were mine.
...

Silent feelings in the dark,
You've lit a flame inside my heart.
I watch, I wish, but cannot start;
I'm catching feelings, right from the start.
...

I am starting to accept the fact that
We will never be together.
Someday these feelings will detach,
Leaving only the pieces of what once mattered.
...

All I do is drink, brew, and screw.
Thought it would take the pain,
but it's not true.
What can I do? I've been in this cycle since twenty-two,
...

One motorcycle ride makes me feel alive and free.
It gives me a chance to pause for a while and just be carefree.
Now I'm here on the other side, where that feeling can't be.
Just stuck within these four walls every night, where my thoughts run crazy.
...

Perhaps pieces of me will complete you in another universe,
even if it costs pieces of me to fix you.
But all I can do now is shout into the void,
hoping my feelings will traverse—
...
