Gadis itu pulang dengan kepingan jiwanya
Berusaha untuk menahan segala rasa sakit
Semua ia simpan rapat-rapat walau tersirat dari matanya
Ia menghempaskan badan diatas tempat tidur
Sambil sesekali memijat keningnya, berharap rasa sakit tak akan hinggap kesana.

Lalu ia berusaha tak mengingat-ingat semuanya
Berharap entah bagaimana caranya agar ia mematikan perasaannya
Dalam hati ia bertanya "kapan terakhir kali kau bahagia?"
Tak ada satupun yang bisa menjawab pertanyaan itu
Ia hanya menatap langit-langit kamar  sambil tersenyum pahit.

"Yah, begitulah realita hidupmu. Tersiksa karena jatuh berkali-kali untuk orang yang salah"
Otaknya berbicara pada hati yang masih kukuh membela perasaan yang ia punya
Ia tak bisa lagi menampik bahwa kepala dan hatinya setelah ini tak akan pernah ada di kubu yang sama
Karena kelalaian hatinya lah ia berada disini sehingga logika menghukum hati itu, menutup pintunya rapat-rapat dan menenggelamkan kuncinya kedalam samudera pemikirannya.

Suara hujan mengiringi gadis itu
Tak terasa satu demi satu tetes air mata mengalir
Ia hanya bisa memejamkan mata dan berkata
"Aku sudah tak punya hati lagi"

White was the only color I see
The trees surrender to the frost
Lights twinkling upon the streets
I thought I saw a lady in a red coat

But do not feel anything when you see her
Her red coat might be warm
But her heart is the coldest you've ever touched
Her white hair blending with her surrounding

I touched the frozen window
She smiles to herself
The snow fell harder and harder
As my heart beats faster and louder

Everything slows down
As she rushed to her faith
And red was the last color I saw that day

The cold northern skies are empty
As empty as my chest
I know you’re there
Yet when I bleed you won’t hold me
If I run you won’t  stop me
Am I that selfish?
Or is it just you not caring about me?
Maybe it is both
How am I to know when you lock me out?

I was wondering,
What if things were different?
This soul of mine is not mine
And this mind I have is not for share
Would you still recognize me then?

If I am just a pretty face to you,
I see no point to offer you my bare soul
And my raw mind.
I shall not tell you how to think
Nor to act

However if you see I am more than a face,
You have my soul
My mind
And my blood
Singing and rising within your command

happy birthday, sylvia plath
i'm writing you a birthday letter
because nobody does it enough anymore

i studied your book once and
had a horrifying vision
that i would be rejected
and i would forget language and words and
i wouldn't write anymore
like you i suffered to breathe
i suffered to watch and i
found comfort in *****
i couldn't drink it neat like you did
i could fall asleep
but you didn't

your pain pained me
and i wondered what you'd think of
my writing
if we'd swap poems and

but we couldn't
i suffered rejection too
and for a while the words wouldn't come
i slept more and ate less
i smoked more and spoke less
but i found the words again
taught myself from reading dictionaries of loss
and though my bad habits remained
i felt ever so slightly more like me
and less like you

i got better
i wish you did too

Underneath the tree
Down by the riverside
Sheltered from the sun

Why oh why are you sad?
Can't you see the sun
How it shines bright

Her sunglasses dark
As dark as her nails
Lips as red as cherry

Sherry, baby
Please don't cry
Stop daydreaming

He's not coming back
Even if he tries
He won't be there for you

Dry your eyes
Cause momma said tears are weakness
And you don't want to disappoint

him
he was more of an angel than lucifer
he was more of a thorn than a rose
he was more of a sky than a pair of wings
he was more of a fool than a gold
he was more of a liar than a sinner,

Ketika malam berganti pagi
Bintang-bintang berkelip sayu
Menanti angan yang tak tiba

Dua anak manusia
Dibawah temaram sinar lampu
Berbicara dari hati ke hati

Merah ingin mencapai Mars
Hitam ingin mencari yang hilang
Satu berdiam
Satu menangis

Sebuah memori dan luka
Datang mengambilnya
Dalam hati terus ia berucap
"Kembalilah... Kembalilah pada dirimu"

Hanya isakan yang ia dapat
Dan sebuah cerita
Yang dilalui dengan tercabik-cabik
Elle Sang Sep 2015
Il est difficile de dire adieu
Lorsqu'on veut rester
Le temps passe
Les souvenirs s'estompent
Les gens nous quittent
Les sentiments changent

Mais le coeur n'oublie jamais
Passer à autres choses
Ne se fait pas en un jour

En quoi ça peut m'aider
À vous dire vrai
Je vois son visage
À chaque fois
Que je ferme les yeux
Que je me reveille en larmes
Parce qu'il n'est pas là


J’ai comme les idees embrouillés
Les reves et les espoirs brisés
Les yeux embués
Les poings serrés
Les jambes paralysées
Le coeur brisé


J’ai tente de t’oublier
Un bon nombre de fois
Et je n’y suis jamais arrive
French is not my maternal language so please bear with me if there is any grammatical error.

At last by the end of the night
Two broken souls
Torn apart from the journey
Finds peace within the moon

There underneath the tree
She whispers softly
"Let go and be free"
So they fall deeper
To the endless sky

And as they fall
The wounds start to heal
The tears stop
At last the screaming ends
