For A Pinch of Love - Visitor's Heartbroken Love Poem

by Angelo Milan Galera
(Lucban, Quezon, Philippines)

One cup of blood…


Stabbed for several times

Murdered by a wicked hand

Veins were cut

Am I trying to escape?

Red liquid started to flow

Dripping…on the floor

Can anybody foresee where will I go from here?

Can I run away from this catastrophic memory?


No whisper. No resonance at all.


One liter of tears…


Sobbing for many days

Tears gushed.

Am I not yet tired?

Crying for this silly heart

Screaming for my throbbing past

People try to weep the tears on my eyes

Saying I’m not yet going to die

Why am I wasting my time for this obsession?

If there still a shoulder to lean on.


A single whisper meddles.


For a pinch of love…


This craze will not be the reason to breathe your last breath

A crazy stuff

A squander

Let us be true to ourselves

Will you ravage your life for him?


Countless voices filled the room.


“Take away the knife on your hand

Wail the tears on your face

Are you insane?

Give your life a chance to love again!”
