Sangre

SANGRE
by Carlo Joseph S. Reglos

Morning was dull and dreary
t’was the normal cycle in my awful life
I was browsing on our conversation
recalling how you smiled and laughed

the only people who are up at three in the morning
are those who are alone and loved…
but when you are attracted to someone
it is because of the petty little things

their smiles, their eyes, their likes and wants
you always give back as long as 
they make you smile even if 
you have no reason and strength to smile at all

but here’s the truth
I can stay up till morning
because the red blood cup of steaming coffee
is the only one keeping me company

the aroma it gives ingressing to my nostrils
brings me into a cycle of no direction
making me fly into the oceans
but no water would touch me in the end

I miss you.
I always dream of you.
would you come back
to keep me sane?
