Eh diba we used to read and write from right to left before kaya madami pa din saten in born na marunong tumingin ng at magbasa ng right to left.

Each line from left to right columns:
Katatakang mahibang ang katulad ko sa iyo ||
Birubiro ang simula | sa wakas pala ay ano ||
Aayawayaw pa ako ngunit iyan ay hindi totoo ||
Dahil sa iyo | puso kong ito ay binihag mo ||
Alaala ka maging gabi at araw ||
Alipinin man ay walang kailangan ||
Marinig ko lang sa labi mo hirang |
Na ako ay iibigin | habang nabubuhay ||

You got it. Basically, you break it down into syllables (Filipino syllables not the English way of breaking down syllables, they are different).

Traditionally, baybayin is written syllable by syllable and each word is separated by a pause mark | and sentences by a stop mark ||. Modern baybayin uses the pause | and stop || as comma and period respectively - modern writers began using spaces in between words instead of a pause. Which brings us to word groupings. This is fine.
The example above is a mixed method, it is a heavily stylized Tagalog/Ilocano script using Kapampangan writing method and experimental word grouping. This should not be considered traditional baybayin, I am the only practitioner who does this and other die-hard traditionalist may not approve of it.
Ako lang ang nagpasimuno nito.

kataka-takang mahibang

habang nabubuhay
