By Rachelle Arlin Credo
I can feel something eerie deep within
Creeping gently with sudden sickening
It smites my soul with disheartening misery
And vibrates into my heaped-up heart all day
It binds my being with a wreath of rue
And hammers my heart the long night through
It shrouds my senses in such an unusual way
And never stops cumbering me with agony
Ah! All day within my heart it cries
And its vexation just never dies
As the demand gets earnest and the craving real
It leaps within my heart to shout and reveal
that...I love you!!!

"I Need You"
By Rachelle Arlin Credo
I need you when the cloud over my pathway is glooming
And coldness envelopes the darkness of the evening
When melancholy and pain just seem so much
I need the soothing softness of your touch
I need you when my soul is thrashed with depression
And I am flooded with problems and strange emotions
I need you with all your benign ways and endearing charms
To wrap me around in the warmth of your gentle arms
I need you when I'm exhausted at the end of the day
I need you when I'm upset and weary as can be
I need you like never been before
And when you left me, I need you more and more

"Reminiscene"
By Rachelle Arlin Credo
I remember the first time we met
When you gave me an intense look I could never forget
With your eyes glowing with so much passion
I felt being engulfed in a spell of tender affection
I remember the moment when you greeted me with a smile
Right away on the spot I melted after a while
And I saw the tender sparkle in your eyes that captivated me
I felt peculiar, I thought I was in heaven already
And I remember those romantic walks we used to take
Wherein you held my hands my knees would shake
The way you ran your fingers through my hair
It reminds me of sweet moments we shared together
And I still remember the words you whispered into my ears
That no matter what you'll always love me now and forever
For this, I'll do everything to make you return to me
I'll take you back whatever price I'll pay

"Why"
By Rachelle Arlin Credo
Why do I shiver whenever I encounter you
I jump and run not knowing where to go
And in a distance I gaze at you intently
I don't know why but you make me so happy
Why do I feel exceedingly great
Each time our eyes happen to meet
My face turns red with a splendid glow
And my body freezes like a statue
Why do I feel scared and uneasy
Whensoever you get to be near me
My hands suddenly turn numb and cold
Then I feel like I'm in a Fantasy World
And why do I spend sleepless nights thinking of you
No matter how I try I just can't get over you
I am getting addicted and crazy about you
And it's like every single minute I want to see you
But why, why do I feel this way
I never felt this way to anybody
Could this be merely infatuation
Or is this already a surge of affection

"My Mother"
By Rachelle Arlin Credo
Who is she who risked her life
in order that I can see the world of strife?
Who is she who battled against the storm
that I may be protected from the culture's norm?
Who is she who spent sleepless nights
for me to guard and secure?
Who is she who watched me overnight
to care for me and give me pleasure?
Who is she who would weep with me
for every pain I bear?
Who is she who would ever save me
from the depths of dark despair?
Who is she who would accept me wholeheartedly
when all my friends turn their backs away?
Who is she who would love me through
Even though it means that she'll be through?

"I Hate You"
By Rachelle Arlin Credo
I hate you since the first time we met
For it marked our inadvertent fate
For coming into my life so suddenly
And invading my thoughts since that fateful day
I hate you for smiling at me time and again
For it made my heart smile back deep within
For the way you stare at me in deliberation
Driving my thoughts crazy with anticipation
I hate you for sending me SMS from time to time
For it made me remember you in a lifetime
For giving me countless missed calls everyday
Reminding me of your presence needlessly
I hate you for always spending your time with me
For it made me appreciate your company
For always being there when I need consolation
Helping me realize you're someone I can lean on
But most of all, I hate you so much
For loving me forcibly without a hunch
For making me say I hate you, with charms all pure
Because the truth is...
I'm just learning to love you more and more
