A/N: I wanna thank my eng. Lit. professor, Mark Pedreira, for talking crap in the class and inspiring me to write this. This is a lame attempt at convincing myself that being single is great. It's mine and ya can't steal it!!!



Empty Of Somebody

May God take mercy upon my soul

my solitary piece of unfleshed being

my sin filled ghoul;

my crying self unseen.

May He see how my life's going on,

and forgive my pity self

because I haven't found a bond

that I can display in my shelves.

But is it really my fault?
Is it I who's to blame?
Is it I who should take the grunge

of a game I've yet to play?


My heart, I know where it has traveled.

My eyes, no one have wandered.

My hands have yet to ravish

hair, arms, chest.

I've always kept my heart at bay

and my hands fill my pockets.

I've always kept myself awake

and my eyes clear and lockless.

And, I mustn't frighten you with stories

of the undead, disturbed because of unloved lives.

Brothers, sisters, lovely

grandfathers, cousins and wives.

Must all things come to an end

when they are yet to be started?
By one, by one, by one.

By who? I have no one.

Tic- toc, toc- toc

Stop ticking! Ungraced clock!

For I know life will not be preserved

my youth never will remain by my side.

My glow will leave my eyes

and this, will be a reality.

I burned my soul throughout my youth

because I couldn't find nobody.

And now, I own no youth

and guilt fills me, empty of somebody.
