No Friend In You

By: Kyle Strauss Abastillas

Is that what you call a friend?
The one you can lean on till the end?
The person that'll cherish the moments you're together?
And swore that never will you forget each other?

It tore me apart, that thing I knew?
That I have no friend in you.
That superficial attitude you show daily,
deceives not just me but everybody.

I tried my heartfelt best to treat you ethically.
I did my best not to tease you ostentatiously.
But I lost my temper, my equanimity
There's nothing more hurtful than what you did to me.

I thought you were my buddy,
But you treated me as your enemy.
I know it's not my fault, I am sure.
You need not treat me like we do not know each other.

Nevertheless, I am still open to forgiveness,
Since I am the one who understands the situation best.
You know that this is my weakness,
Confrontation instead of sweet caress.

Forget Her, Find Someone Better

By Kyle Strauss F. Abastillas

Unbelievably, I got to this point
To this point of no return
Where I, once a cub, small and stupid
Now a bear, big and brave
Is strengthened to let go
Is ready to forget

Consciously, I knew that it wasn't me
That will fulfill her ideals and dreams
But still I was there, hoping and believing
When she was just denying and not minding
I willed to love her.
I chose to wait.

Proudly, I can say that she once loved me.
When we exchanged I love you's
That I touched her cheeks, spontaneous and sweet
That she waved hellos and goodbyes, cute and inspiring
But it all passed to fast.
That she wasn't able to catch up.

Imaginably, if she were still here by my side
She could have had a lot of things.
She and I together, everyday, every night
To our anniversaries and date nights.
She and I together would have been
She and I forever.

Actually, I really am renewing my life
New days and nights where she's not there.
Days where I am single, happy and free
Nights that I am at peace, happy and contented.
This may take a while but
I will forget her and find someone better.
