Gamble

“i have to flip a coin
a hundred times,” she said.

“it’s tiresome, just say
you’ve got a 48-52 result,” said I.

at night, i tried it.
“this is my last shot.
if i get a head, she’s mine.”

at the toss of a coin,
47-head
53-tail
i just sighed.

Virus

you’re lost inside my universe
if i tell you the right way out
will you ever come back?

because i need you
and i’m lost inside you’re heart too

but please
don’t tell me the right way back

because if you do
outside,
there is only nothingness
without you, i’ll be lifeless.

Filipino Translation:

naliligaw ka sa mundo ko
kung ituturo ko ba sa’yo ang daan palabas
babalik ka pa kaya?

dahil kailangan kita
at naliligaw rin ako sa puso mo
pero pakiusap
h’wag mo nang ituro ang daan pabalik

sa labas,
lahat ay hihinto
dahil ikaw ang buhay ko.
