The Love You've Taken Away

Girl I've been wonderin'
If it is me you are seein'
In the night when you are sleepin'
When you can't hear me callin'.
I know it's hard for you
To leave me in a place like this
But now I understand
This time, I want what I've missed.
You've left me here alone
You've left me for someone new
You've gone and made me lonely,
Made me lonesome, made me blue.
Now I see that the worst has come
I know that you cannot be found.
All you've left is a memory
Not a rhythm, not a sound.
This poem is not for you to spend.
This poem is not for you to pay.
This is for you to give back
The love you've taken away.

What The Future Holds For Us

Just think that you are an archeologist. You were digging in a site with large piles of rock and sooth. You entered a cavern. The way was cleared by your co-archeologist before you went in. After an hour or two, you came pass the mark that says, 'THIS AREA IS NOT CLEARED YET.' Because of your enthusiasm to see the other side, and reach the unchartered terrain, you wanted to continue on. You were hungry and pale. You felt tired; still your mind has other plans. After few more hours, and also, few steps passed the mark, you encountered a big rock covering a small passage that you can get in to. The rock was covered with dust and big piles of pebbles surrounded it. You tried to move the big rock but it only made the other rocks cover the small hole, thus, making matters worse. Hopelessness filled your mind.

Dejected thought began to fill your mind. Inside your head creep more questions. Is it really the end? You will begin to ask yourself, is this the end for all of us? Is this the end of the line? But still, your brain disagrees, 'I'm certain that there are more things to be discovered.' The thought of uncertainty begins to spring inside you head. This is what the future holds for us. Life is full of discoveries. It is like a dig. Never-ending. No barriers. Only physical handicaps that make us stop and give up.

We see things as a puzzle without the pieces. We hold on to a world full of unknown facts and undiscovered pieces needed to be collected. As we all know, we need the pieces for us to know the outcome of the puzzle. But if we stop at a boulder that averts us from entering and discovering more, we won't know the outcome of the puzzle. We can't finish the things we started. We won't know the truth.

We must not let ourselves stop at a point where we think it all ends. The end is always connected to a starting point. It is only the beginning of new things. The beginning of a new world. And with that, the end of a puzzle is not the end of knowing more. Knowing that there's an end, a puzzle makes us learn that we must persevere to know more and knowing that the end is only the beginning of new things makes us realize that there are more challenges and more pieces to be collected.

As a parting word, may I say these things for us to really know the future? The future doesn't end in a boulder blocking our way. The end is near. The future comes to us every second of our lives. So, it is the future that makes us live and if there is no future, therefore, it is the end.

i thought that i was a sure shot
thank you for showing me what i was not

I've been there for you
I've been true to you
thought you'd be the fair kind

so much for waitin
so much for thinkin
thinkin that you would be mine
in time
so much for wakin
wakin up in time for you
so much for takin
takin each step with you
thinkin that you would be mine
in time
