I morosely chew on my pencil top.
silently sigh at the damage done.

I look at him, my breath stops,

Him,
the bandage to my broken heart.
Drizzle of glitter from the stars

My version of pixie dust.
Hey... I miss you..

The leaf on a tree hanging on for no apparent reason
When you can already see it crumbling to pieces.
Holding on to it although it's not necessary
Only hoping to be given life but death is irreversible
Finally coming to the conclusion you no longer can help this leaf grow
So let it go, falling to the ground, to be turned into something else
To be treated with the care that you could never provide
Even if you tried

i don’t wanna love you more
i don’t wanna love you less
i just wanna love you better
i wanna do it right even though i know this won’t last, i feel so scared and insecure but i will try, and i hope it’ll be okay by time.

Abu
Kini sudah jelas bagiku itu abu-abu
Perbedaan membentang tentang aku dan kamu.
Kamu , duniamu dan hatimu.
Sedangkan aku,
Aku , duniaku dan selalu kamu.
Kamu yang tak mungkin bersamaku.
Dan aku yang selalu berharap mungkin bisa bersamamu .
Dan kata "selamanya" yang akan selalu menjadi do'aku untuk bersamamu.

I miss you. I miss the hue and the view of you. I’m truly blue for that there is no you yet I’m bliss for knowing you.
I’m glue to your unforgettable smile.

every time I try to escape you
I start to feel empty to my very core
I'd rather hold on then say adieu
because either way I was a wreck before

I knew her
I knew her before him
Before they met
Before his eyes became her mirror
Before he started whispering sweet nothings in her ear
Before she smiled at his sight
Before she started wanting more with him
Before her heart started feeling complete with him
Before she could lose her mind in his touch and find refuge in his voice.

I knew her before him
When I could still roam the corridors and rooms of her heart and not find her nestled in his arms
I knew her before 'she' became 'them'
When I still had a chance
When I could tell her how I feel
I knew her before him
I knew her,
The one who got away.
When I wrote this poem, I wrote it for mainly two reasons, the first - never taking the actual leap and going for someone you like, sharing how you feel and not holding back. The second - in life you actually dream or imagine the perfect human being for you without knowledge that the person actually exists. And when you find the person often times there is an obstacle. This poem centered around those themes. And I hope you can reflect on what has been written.

They say when
you're in love
you get better.
But why am I
getting worse?

Him
Suspended in time
Weightless and unworried
We hang on to the moment
Sedated magic unhurried

His scent is captivating and wild
Forever embedded in my brain
Masculine and crisp
A few hints of the earth after a rain

Insecurities held at bay
I live inside your sanctuary
Your embrace keeps me safe
My senses relaxed and unwary
