and by now, you're still sweeping me away.
and when i thought everything had gone away. that grand ballroom. the golden halls. the tudor(?) glass panes that surrounded us. i thought i had blown it all away. and thats what actually sucks about it. i thought. akala. hindi mahirap na isipin ko kung bakit may mga oras talaga na hindi ko kaya pigilin ang aking sarili. like sharp pieces of glass, scattered on the floor. reflecting that broken dream of that surreal world that you once held, or maybe i. the world that you held delicately with your own two white glowing hands. and whenever you wished you let go. and indeed, before, you let go. more than once that happened.
people succembed to the terrible power that was wielded by the queen. and by far she was the most alluring. at least by some span of time. both great and foolish men, were at her service, muted beyond her command. and all they can do is sit there. because thats all there is to it.
we're all trapped. trapped in that surreal world that you created. you made us roll into your cycle. we became embedded in the gems that you carved out. and you proudly wore these gems. but no one saw you when you do so. for you wore them only in your sleep. and there while your eyes are closed, us, trapped and frozen in place. feeling that coldness fuming from your skin. still, thats how we are.
and when you wake up. you're glad to see your shining gems. and with them, you face the mornings. bright sunlight that fills your room, shines them, and instantly, you are the prettiest. ang pangyayaring ito'y nagaganap ng isang segundo lamang, kung saan ika'y nakatulala sa bintana at ang buong mundo'y nakatalikod. this is how. or thats how everybody sees it.
but then again. i can go wrong. for using these words may overstate the descriptions i have given. but also understate them.
but for most part. you are a big overstatement. i stand by that. and each time that all these broken shards come together to revive your surreal world. all we have to do is stop looking. and all your gems shatter away.
and all this time, everyone had been fooled.
