"Pahinga" is a Filipino word, which means rest or break. It can also be associated with the phrase "source of solace."


Pahinga used to be him,
Someone I used to feel loved and wanted,
Then I lost pahinga due to my foolish whim,
And pahinga's empty face left me haunted.

Pahinga used to be her,
Someone I used to feel accepted by and cared for,
By my side, pahinga was always there,
Yet pahinga always left my heart sore.

Pahinga used to be them,
Some people I used to trust with all my heart,
However, when I pulled the veil's hem,
Revealing why pahinga kept me in the dark.

Pahinga used to be someone,
But now, I don't recognize pahinga anymore,
Pahinga can never be anyone,
Because pahinga is long gone.
