The universe appears to be in complete decline

Surrendering the matter before the storm

Lord, grant me mercy

Before I vanish,
Make me shine
Viktoriia Mar 2020
i'll write a prayer
to the silence,
a final act
of my defiance.
when there is nothing
left to preach,
i'll leave the altar,
burn the speech.
i'll bleed my faith,
and on the steps
i'll face the crowd
to make amends;
stand on my knees,
accept it all,
and say a prayer
before the fall.

God
I surrender to you!
Here on my knees
Screaming,
please oh please
Don't forget about me

God
I know i have sinned
And everything feels like I'm going against the wind
But Please oh please
Don't forget about me

God
I know i have ignored your voice
And at the time that was my choice
But i don't want to be left behind
So please oh please
Don't forget about me

God
I need you more then ever before
And i understand if you chose to not to try anymore
But
Please oh please
Don't forget about me
Please oh please
Don't forget about me
Please don't forget about me

In your parched desert land
As the pendulum swings
And your friends are all gone
Still you’re moving right along
Like it doesn’t mean a thing

In your parched desert land
Thinking life’s unforgiving
Why not swallow your pride
Take an honest look inside
Join the land of the living

In  your parched desert land
Your manufactured death valley
Kind response was so important
Yet your manner was discordant
Isolation’s blind alley

In your parched desert land
When they take the final tally
You’ll surrender the fight
Find exquisite delight
In your brokered finale

they're all the same.
always asking
the same questions,
wondering if you're okay,
terrified of hearing the truth.
how are you supposed to explain
that you take the pills,
and you do the talking,
and you try so hard
just to keep the waves
from crashing ashore,
but it just doesn't work
anymore?
is it too late to choose
the opposite door?
will they let you give up?

god, it's always the same.
answering the same questions,
digging holes in your skin,
a crawling that never stops,
an itch that cuts through the bone.
and when you're alone,
forever and ever,
it's such a dreadfully long time.
is it too late to surrender,
walk away from the fight?
if living no longer makes you
feel alive,
is it time to quit?
will they let you give up?

Biar rintik tangis langit membawa ceritaku ke awan dan dijatuhkannya di depan matamu.
Sampai basah tersimpan pada kelamnya aspal Gudang Utara malam ini.
Sudah berendam pada firman-firman Bapa, untuk pudarkan namamu dari jiwaku.
Pikiranku bulat, doaku tegak.

Jadi, sampai disini saja pementasanmu, kamu bukan lagi lakon utama ataupun lakon pendukung ceritaku.
Koper ini kutinggalkan, terlalu lelah pundakku menanggung beban pikiran atas kemungkinan yang fana.
Biar bumi berkisah tentang kekosongan yang pernah tak kupahami. Memoriku telah lalu, kini terisi dengan yang baru.
060320 | 22:30 PM besok subuh jam setengah empat udah harus berangkat ke bali, terima kasih bandung dan jakarta untuk hari-harinya. Hari ini sempet paranoid, nyium wangi cologne yang begitu familiar di park230 taunya kayanya pengharum ruangan aja, lewatin suis butcher, muka-muka orang bisa transform di kepalaku. Ya, paranoid. Setelah ditimbang lagi, keromantisan itu gaada apa-apa dibanding kenyebelinan & rasa acuh & kegerahanku setiap ketemu, layar hp-nya dibalik gelagat mencurigakan yg biarlah berlalu. Belum lagi kalau jalan bertiga sm nyokapnya, gw selalu ditinggal jalan dibelakang, lol, gw bukan babu. Diminta berusaha, buat mempertahankan hubungan dengan sekali seminggu telepon aja gagal mulu, memang prioritasnya kerja bukan hubungan, tak apa menimbun, tp kalau berlebihan ya buat apa kan materi ga dibawa mati. Saat ini merasa content dengan apa yg dimiliki, dan sangat-sangat bersyukur tuhan pernah blg "wait" / "no". Roman 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
