Part twenty-three :)


o It's playing on the radios I hear,
Written in books and magazines I read,
Worn by everyone everywhere I go,
Your way of coaxing me no doubt
Slowly, slowly, I'm going crazy
What can I do to outrun you?

Standing here in the middle all alone, I'm thinking
Did someone let loose an army of cupids?
Left and right, up and down,
One by one, everyone starts falling in love,
The things they do, the things they say,
Oh please, someone shoot me now

Love, love, love, just leave me be,
Enough is enough, you've infected too many,
Just keep on dreaming, I'm not going to let you take me,
Try as you may but believe me when I say,
You're not going to get me that easily

I can't take it anymore,
Your insistent knocks on my door
Can't you take a hint?
I'm never let you in


o I should've known it,
Sooner or later I would be a victim,
To this love bug that's bitten everyone
Of all people, it just had to be you,
Should I risk it,
Making a friend into something more?

There's a battle raging in me,
A round of tug-of-war,
The heart says yes,
It'll be wonderful, Mr. Mind
The mind says no,
Until everything falls apart, Ms. Heart

Decisions, decisions, I hate this feeling
Of not knowing which way to go,
I'm oh-so self-conflicted,
Should I embrace these butterflies,
or should I chase them away?

Like always, part twenty-three ends here.

Ahem. I always say this but it's been awhile, eh? Haha~ I've been out of 'juice' for quite some time now but there are those rare nights where inspiration strikes and I try to make the best of it.

And TADA! These two were written haha. Not too shabby, eh? Leave a comment on what you think of what I've written.

Part twenty-two last continuation :)

Oh, he was being serious, alright.

Why did he have to be serious, she thought bitterly, anger suddenly building up. She didn’t know why but she was just so ticked off, at him, at herself, at everything. If only the both of them had not met each other.

She scolded herself for thinking like that.

She was losing her mind, she concluded when she felt the familiar stinging sensation in her eyes. That was probably why she was being such a terrible friend.

It has to be.

Juri stared at the girl reflected in the mirror, all dolled up. Her eyelids painted in a shimmery light purple eye-shadow, eyelashes curled and were coated with mascara and lips so pink that she’d give Barbie a run for her money.

She traced the image of herself on the mirror slowly. The girl staring back at her looked nothing like her yet it was her. She smiled softly, remembering what had brought on this sudden want to embrace her femininity.

--

“Are you Juri?” His bride-to-be had asked her when she saw Juri outside of the bridal shop. Juri stared in awe and thought, no wonder. If she was a poet like Shakespeare was, she’d compare the woman standing in front of her to a summer’s day. She briefly wondered how it would feel to be one, a woman. She was only but a girl.

--

His reaction when he first saw her was priceless and would forever be kept in her mind.

It was then Juri had decided that make-up was now her best friend.


Part iii. of part twenty-two ends here :)

Hey there guys, it's been awhile. So, I originally had wanted to make this longer but I was scared that I'd ruin it by dragging it on and on. So I decided t end it here even though it seems to be an abrupt ending.

Part twenty-two continuation :)

ii.

Juri paced back and forth in her room, contemplating on whether she should be his bride-to-be’s maid of honor. She didn’t know her. Heck, she wasn’t even sure if she was even going to attend the wedding. With a sigh, Juri sat on the very edge of her bed with her hands covering her face, unconsciously mimicking him from once upon a time.

--

“Geez Leeon, stop pacing around the room. You’re giving me a headache.” She had berated her best friend as he paced back and forth in her room, seemingly deep in thought. Juri snorted at that. Leeon and thinking in the same sentence? The very idea of it was ludicrous.

He stopped and sat on the edge of her bed with his hands covering his face. Juri heard him mutter a muffled apology. Wow, whatever was bothering sure was getting to him, she mused. She’d never seen him in such a state before.

“C’mon now, out with it. Who’s the girl?” She had asked jokingly in an attempt to ease the tension but the moment she saw the look on his face, she realized she had just hit home.

No way.

The expression on her must’ve been hilarious because Leeon started cracking up. Well, at least she succeeded in loosening him up. But still,

“Are you serious?”

Part ii. of part twenty-two ends here :)

Part twenty-two. This is supposed to be a one-shot type of thing but I decided that it would be better for me to post them in parts.

i.

It is hard but I’ll survive, Juri tried to convince herself as she fought a losing battle against a tide of emotions. She knew letting go was never easy but she didn’t expect it to be this hard. The pain was too intense, excruciating to the point that it felt like having half of her heart, mind and soul ripped away from her very being.

Is this how it feels, to be brokenhearted?

She would ask herself this over and over but she doesn’t understand why she was even asking. How can she be heartbroken over the fact that he is happy?

Because he is happy without you and with another, her traitorous mind would add to further her misery.

Sort of drabble-ish like posts, you can say. It doesn't really make sense until every part is posted cause duh, twas supposed to be a one-shot haha. Anyway, Part i. of Part twenty-two ends here :)

Part twenty-one :)

o With life, comes pain and with pain, comes the time of healing.

o Silly girl. Your dreams would always be just that; dreams.

o If only there was a time machine that I could use to prevent myself from meeting you, my life would be much easier.

o Life must go on; no matter how reluctant you are, no matter how much you want to stay in this moment, no matter how hard it is to say goodbye and to let go. Life must go on, right 'self'?

o It took me by having him taken away from me to realize that he meant the world to me.

o I fell in love at goodbye.

o People; you can't please all of them. You'll end up dying trying.

o Your existence; it gives me a reason to live and also to die.

o Why are you so annoying? You're like an itch on my back that I can't scratch and it's driving me absolutely nuts.

o When guys and math comes to mind, there's only one thing that pops up along with it; can't understand them, don't want to understand them.

o You know that saying, 'I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.'
When you see it, you're saved, you'll live and life will be wonderful.
I don't get it, I'm at the end but I see no light.
Am I blind or am I meant not to be saved?

o 'Let's go, it's time,' Mother said,
Deep breaths taken, and I began my walk down the aisle,
Screams I hear, my heart was screaming at me,
'Fool, this won't change anything.'
I knew, but I didn't care.
Anything to forget 'you' ever existed.

o Our memories, I play it like a song,
Fast and slow, loud and quiet,
But rewind and pause, I can't.
Unreachable is that place we were in.
Too bad, so sad.

o I supposed lying would make things easier,
But it won't stop that nagging feeling I get,
When I say, 'Hey, I'm happy for the two of you.'
'Congratulations' was never that hard to say before.

My damned heart, what a weakling you've made me become.
One trigger, memories rush in, and tears would flow like a river.
The need to hate you is dearly wanted but no such luck.
Damn you, damn you.


It's been awhile, huh? Part twenty-one ends here :)

Part twenty :)

o It's not like you ever did anything,
To say I'm not good enough to live,
Just don't know why,
You don't care to try,
On the ground, that's where I've been lying down,
Begging 'God, please', you'll come around.

o She hopes to wake up from this dream,
where her heart is broken,
Shattered like glass, pieces scattered around,
In and out, she breathes,
'Why am I still dreaming?',

He stops and stares,
Poor girl, he thought,
'When will she realize, that what she's seeing and feeling now,
Are all very real'.

o It's time we stop pretending,
That time is on our side,
Tell me that you'll be there,
To watch me slowly die,

Open your eyes,
The last chapter has arrive,
Best left forgotten I am,
But only after the final goodbye.


o That one person missing in your life,
the one you've been searching all this time,
Someone worth your smile,
Someone worth your while,
She, that's who it is,
I, that's who it's not.

o I want to be anywhere in the world,
Except to be beside you,
Hush, don't misunderstand,
I'm just trying to keep myself sane.

Part twenty ends here :)

Part nineteen :)

o One look, one touch, one smile,
And he takes all the pain away,
So sweet, so beautiful, yet so cynic,
He dares not to temper,
with a glass so fragile.

o She'll take what she can,
She don't mind no broken man
'Don't fix me,' He whispers
Smiling, she stroke his hair
Too bad, she begs to differ.

o She'll never stop trying,
not even with a gun in between,
She stands tall and proud,
Yet deep inside,
A guardian angel, she wishes to come
To save what's left of,
this girl who's lost inside.

o Summer comes and goes,
Like the 'people' that we know,
Past is past, we say,
But who are we to play,
Once broken, remains broken,
Perhaps it is a token,
Perhaps it is a memento,
Of what living life was before.

o Don't come around,
saying, 'Baby, what's going on?'
Spell's been cast and broken,
Walk out that door wide open

Who are we kidding?
The whole world ain't laughing,
One, two, three, you're back stepping
Four, five, six, out that door I'll push you so start running

Nothing's gonna change my mind, cause babe,
You ran out of time,
Out of sight, out of mind,
Go, before I dig you a hole filled with land mines.

Part nineteen ends here :)

Hey peeps. It's been awhile, hasn't it? Been stressing over my studies that I couldn't come up with anything good. Well, except for these. Anyways, these are some unfinished stuff I'm writing for my band. Yes, yours truly is in a band. Watch out for us. We're planning to go all out next year.

Enjoy.
