As for her,

She might has forgotten
where the home is in the world

For she's always everywhere—
in every countries she crossed
on every streets she wandered
at every motels she spent the night
above the sand and ocean breeze
below the tallest buildings and crowded bridges..

But you,

You make her feel like
the closest thing to feeling that again
Is your poetry now dusty,
abandoned on the shelf

Have your dreams become dismissive,
do you live for someone else

Is there mold inside your memory box,
questions all long gone

Do you walk that lonely road alone
—your heart to drag along

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)

i am afraid
that you would
finally see into me
and realize
that i was
never
worth your
time,
energy,
and
love.

do you have moments, where you can’t imagine a future?
you’re lying there, staring at the
same walls
same ceilings
same words
with nothing but the same feelings-
empty and pale,
like there’s no reason to go on,
when you can’t even do enough to fail.
the future is coming, but you don’t want to be in it,
can’t imagine yourself in it.
where you just want to stop.
everything.
and just sit there for a while.
maybe not death, as that’s too permanent,
but something close to it.
when you can feel the rope around your neck,
the razor on your wrist,
the way the pills taste.
you can imagine it, and you aren’t sure if it’s what you want,
or just the feelings you imagine it will give you
Is this depression?

I fell,
in love with your broken.
I fixed you
then
set
you
free.

Fractured,
in words left unspoken.
I'm broken
as
broken
can
be.
we're stuck in the past,
going back.
reviewing history
unattached.
we need to rebuild,
we need to enlight,
we need to spread love
and be one with the light.
we need a clean slate,
to set a new sight,
to know its alright.

Malam ini aku teringat akan dirimu
Sosok yg selalu aku rindukan
Semasa dulu hingga saat itu
Sebelum diriku berubah.

Kini kita menjauh
Aku tak tahu apa yg membuat kita jauh
Aku pun tak mengerti
Mengapa engkau begitu dingin

Tak bisakah engkau sedikit menengok ku? Atau kembali menyapa diriku seperti sebelumnya?
Catatan lama yang kemudian aku memberanikan diri untuk meng-upload nya.
