Poetato 6d
Some parts of your journey
Are only temporary
And maybe, this is one of them.

It teaches you a lesson
About losing, accepting
And at last, letting go.

It might feel heavy and dark
Yet that's where the light begins to seep in,
Slowly bringing you back home
To yourself.
Well, such is life. Imperfect, yet ours.
Poetato May 14
Aku terdiam
Di balik suara yang terus menggema
Mengeja tanya
Yang tak lahir dari mata mereka.

Kupungut satu per satu kebingungan
Yang tak pernah diminta
Sambil menyelipkan rasa kesal
Di antara hela napas.

Tak ada telinga
Hanya dinding yang berdiri tegak
Menampung gema tanpa makna.

Dan ternyata
Lelah juga
Menjadi penjaga sunyi
Yang mereka sebut guru.
Poetato May 13
I'll enjoy these good moments
Quietly worrying about tomorrow
Quietly preparing myself
So if the pain finds its way back to me
I won't be completely broken.

This conversation
Leads me to a realization
That I never truly knew you.
And somehow, it's delightful
Learning you slowly
Like we once did.

This closeness
Leads me to a realization
That the feeling still lingers
No longer the same, yet softly familiar
And somehow, it's delightful
To know it's you
The one I still hold dear.

This writing
Leads me to no certain place
And that's alright
And somehow, it's delightful
To spill my heart
For the same soul
From a time long gone.
Poetato May 5
how dare you
have the audacity to face me
with a thousand excuses
and that wide, careless smile
as if nothing ever happened
as if no one ever knew
*******.
Poetato May 3
O Lord
I lay it all before You
As I did yesterday

But this time
My eyes
Surely
Remain open.
Poetato May 3
We never know
The story of tomorrow

If the storm is coming
Please give me a sign
At least a drizzle

'Cause now I'm afraid
The night might hold me tight
Too tight
Again.
