Preserving the self
February 17, 2008Instinct
I can’t promise
Your freedom from pain,
For pain is a constant
In this elaborate equation
Called intimacy.
I can’t stop you
From protecting yourself:
Self-preservation is
As natural as the very air
We breathe to live.
I can’t guarantee
We’ll always be together;
For we all succumb to life’s
Transience, including
The emotions we feel.
I can’t help you if
You’re feeling helpless
About this. Nothing in life
Comes without even
A whiff of risk.
The only thing
I can share, this lesson
Taught to me long ago,
Is this desire to know
You, in spite of all that
I know now, in spite of all
The bad things that may
Happen; we’re on the same
Boat, and only our faith
Will keep us afloat.
manila, 1999
