doubtless, you feel nothing
caught up in your present
complacent in my absence
it was so easy for you to reach for me
when you and i were so in need
and when we were so convenient
but such was not to last
the wind blows now in your favor
and i no longer hold any interest,
useless and unnecessary
cast away from the limelight of your attentions
cast away from the limelight of your attentions
yet now and again i wonder about you
and if this happiness becomes you
or if this you is a happiness borrowed
like the you that you were, then content, in my arms
i wanted to say something smart but couldn't. hehe. so i'll just say it plainly. parang problematic ung connection between 'happiness' and 'you'. What's a viable opposite for a borrowed happines? someone that you own? but if that's the case, will that still be happiness?
ReplyDeleteyun lang. hehe. :P
kung merong constructive criticism, meron ding defensive reactions ha. :P
ReplyDeletewith the term "borrowed" i was going for the meaning "temporary" aside from the idea that the happiness the other is experiencing is not truly her own.
:) yun lang. drama ba?
defensive reactions? bago un a. nope. no defending. the moment it's published, it's like an entry sa heights. subject to crit and walang kibo kung entry mo. ahha.
ReplyDeletewek. ginagawa mo namang confessional ang entries mo. :D
ReplyDeletejust because i tend to write with some autobiographical influence doesn't mean that it's a confessional. abier, tungkol kanino to?
