Is my sallow, sorrowful skin not satisfactory? You smile at my sensitivity, Slowly slipping a hand under my shirt. Solely *** is scarcely satisfactory, sadly, It's silly, I speculated it'd stay sustained. I sit and sulk, salty tears streaking down, Silently spilling each drop of sadness onto my skin. Sorry, I was sweet, but seldom satisfy; I surrender, our story is sealed.

Satisfied
your breath caresses my neck, skin prickles with anticipation to your lips, my hands gently fondled by your fingers, that press aimlessly at each digit. we mindlessly dance in intimate conversations, that serenade me to sleep, while im trying to forget the reality of tomorrow, of one where we simply do not exist. yet, you are the scriber that maps the crevices of my body, with the ghost of your touch commanding my arch, where your lips trace the softness you have come to adore, as our eyes lock with transient fleeting emotions, we have promised to lock away. but there is no blanket of denial, that can scam the rhythm of your heartbeat i hear, as it drums in synchrony of my own. it threatens the definition of casual, sworn with poorly inked pen that starts to fade, where the boundaries and lines start to blur, with reckless and urgent words thrown, to keep you next to me, for a little while longer.

You're inside me You've never felt so far Naked, exposed Acting like strangers We've never met Not in any way aside from physically Your touch is engraved in my anatomy Never in my mind

Inside
even after we figured we weren't a match. our past was magnetic and it'd pull us back. i'd try to resist, for both you and me. but love still reciprocating isn't easy to wear away. you would come back, sometimes, and i had to turn my head away. i called your slurred words meaningless but they were thoughts we both held. our seemingly endless cycle continued for weeks, but logic seeped back in. gratitude for intelligence.

you still run back
how long will you hold yourself back? even when it's really both of us, unable to face our lovely truth. limits are comfortable, but i know we both yearn for the time, day, minute, that we stop holding back. will we stop staring at each other- but avoiding contact longer than a second? will we only be free from our mind traps, when all is over. when there couldn't possibly be anything holding us back. would there be a flood of the years of moments that could've happened sooner. but really, what is left holding us back?

what's left to hold back?
Beberapa orang mampu memberiku tawa, menarikku keluar dari gelap—meski hanya sejenak. Namun, kau berbeda. Kau selalu ingin melihatku tersenyum ceria, dan selalu menawarkan telinga agar aku bebas menumpahkan cerita. Meski aku tahu, di hatimu telah terukir sebuah nama— yang bahkan tak sanggup kueja.

Yang tak Sanggup Kueja
Shiny green apple, surface glistens when the sun kisses its skin. Shiny green apple, you’re appealing. My mouth salivates at the thought of tearing into your flesh. Shiny green apple, do I have your permission to sink my teeth into you? Fear not— I’ll make it quick. Shiny green apple, I cough up bile. You’re rotten inside. I take a closer look— poison leaks from your pores. Shiny green apple, whose skin did you drape across yourself to appease me? I hate apples, yet I fixated on you. Shiny green apple, I’ll look closer. Watch as the sun reveals the wax poured on you. I scrape it off with my nails. You’re not shiny, green apple. You’re dull.

I got a sweet taste of what love could be like. Your eyes on me, your voice softly caressing my soul. You made me feel embraced and accepted, and for once I thought I found my person. You spoke my language like it was your mother tongue, but still ended up leaving me with more questionmarks then answers. You said you would come back, but closed the door on me in darkness. Just me left alone in pitch darkness, waiting. The silence hit me like knife, sharp and long was the blade you decided to stab me with. Just for you to come back and blame my bleeding on myself. Maybe it wasn’t love after all. Maybe it was just a tease. Hurt people, hurt people. Understandood but not pleased by the aftermath.

So close, but so far
Sampai kapan menunggu menjadi sebuah kebiasaan? Aku mencari makna cinta, berharap seorang pangeran datang menjemputku, menarikku keluar dari jurang bernama trauma. Sampai kapan menunggu menjadi sebuah kebiasaan? Ketika mata kita beradu, kau memberi rona gemilang, dengan lihai membuatku terpana dalam tatap yang hanya sekejap. Sampai kapan menunggu menjadi sebuah kebiasaan? Jika pertemuan itu berakhir menjadi renjana yang hanya aku seorang merasakannya.

You say you still hate me, But it’s been a year since we’ve spoke. And I bet you tell me off As just another crazy ex-friend. Cause your buddies all say You can’t go anywhere without my ghost following. You see me everywhere But I’m just another crazy ex-friend. And sure I can’t hear those songs anymore, And sure I can’t see those people without it being your face, At least I’m just another ex-friend haunting you. Expect I’m not, though. I’m the wind kissing your cheeks And the ravine behind your grandparents’ house. I’m the waves that send you tumbling And the chocolate cake you try to avoid. I am everything you used to love And I hope it stays that way. Because sure I’m just another ex-bestfriend But I am also so much more.

Ex-Friend
Kau bukan sekadar soal pulang malam ini. Kau adalah jeda yang tak pernah selesai, pertanyaan yang tak diberi jawaban. Waktu terus berjalan tanpa menoleh, tanpa peduli apakah dadaku masih menyimpan degup yang sama— yang mungkin tak pernah sampai padamu. Aku tak pernah berniat jatuh. Tak pernah menyiapkan nyali untuk mencintai sedalam ini. Namun diam-diam, di antara ragu yang kupeluk sendiri, aku memohon— semoga hatimu suatu hari diilhami cinta yang tulus untukku.

Sekodi Bentuk Patah
Penantian panjang yang tak jua sembuh akhirnya berjumpa, Malam yang beku luruh saat kau di sisiku. Tak lagi kulihat bara di matamu, hanya teduh yang asing namun menenangkan. Sayang, aku tak lagi runtuh karenanya. Ada jemu yang diam-diam tumbuh, meski secuil bahagia masih singgah di dada. Pernahkah namaku kau simpan dalam sunyi hatimu? Atau aku hanya gema yang kau dengar sesekali, lalu kau biarkan hilang? ❤️🩹

Dalil Hati
Jujur saja, aku lelah dengan perasaanku sendiri— sampai kapan hati ini terus mengukir namamu? Bolehkah aku menghapusnya? Sebab sampai kapan pun, kau mungkin tak pernah bisa menjadi milikku. Jujur saja, aku masih menyimpan rapi kenangan itu— hari terakhir kita berjumpa, mengelilingi tiap sudut kota, sembari bertukar pikiran seolah waktu tak tergesa. Aku masih mengingat jelas tatap matamu saat aku menjelaskan sesuatu dengan suara yang nyaris goyah. Kuakui, kala itu aku cukup gugup berada di sisimu— terlebih dengan caramu menatapku. Namun seketika, hatiku tersentak. Aku tersadar oleh kenyataan bahwa kau belum benar-benar usai dengan masa lalu mu. Sejak saat itu, hatiku sekuat tenaga mengubur rasa ini— namun diam-diam ia selalu menemukan jalan untuk hidup kembali.

Masa Kini, Masa Lalu, dan Kita
hand in hand, whispers of love, shared music and spit. all behind the safety of your bedroom door. people ask, they wonder if you are mine. I ignore their questions, none of their business. making out to my chemical romance doesn’t concern anyone but us. hidden feelings, denied labels, my secret.

my secret
When I felt at peace in bed suddenly, the space felt crowded "Go sleep on the couch" echoed in the room and shook my pride "maybe I choked him with feelings" laced my thoughts but I instantly brushed it away like an unwanted insect I, for a second, thought "poor couch being used for separation, for self-thought" even though it's the most used for lounging "poor couch" at 6:00 am at that moment I felt the "ouch" in " COUCH

I used to hate angles. It was all too complicated, with degrees and rulers. Now I see them differently. I feel the angle of which my head turns to look at your. A slight one, gently calculated so that my eyes can do the rest of the work. I see angle in how I position myself, never directly in front of you but still so desperate not to be forgotten. A position that allows me to watch your angles. The curved, the straight, the ones that occur when you yourself tilt your head to look to me. How do I calculate that? Does it measure to the same angle when you looked down at me sleeping on your chest? Or perhaps the one where you hid yourself away in my shoulder? I have more questions than before, when I thought angles was just maths. Will you explain to me which angle you see me through? Or will I keep having to try find yours?

Angles
your hands between my thighs. they saw how you touched me under the blanket, we should’ve been more quiet. if I step out for a smoke, will you follow me? pin me to the wall, grab my neck. take me there on the stairs, where your neighbors can hear. I’ll leave a hickey on your neck. you’ll leave a bruise on my chest. tell me all the positions we’ll switch next week while I’m grinding on you on the stairs. honey, you’re making me give promises I will not keep. take me outside for the promised cigarette. you blew that smoke into my mouth, and the vertigo felt like heaven, just for a moment. pass me the lighter with her initial engraved because I don’t wanna go upstairs— just not yet.

Wound that you carved into my lower lip Burns as I lick the salt from the back of your hand I take the bottle you wouldn't let go Never thought I would be jealous of such a plastic I feel the tequila burning down from my throat I feel the saltwater running down my cheeks Your I love you's crash to the shore of my soul I still feel dizzy Though my lip doesn't sting anymore

be my deepest thoughts to creep in my mind at the darkest night and make me feel like you're never gonna go or be my stars in the middle of the night when I can't sleep and take me back to a peaceful dream be my words that I should've said the last time we met thinking how beautiful you were kept all in my mind be my voice I wish that would've said something when you kissed me but never did

Casual
No name No title Yet we kiss each other Until the lungs burst at the seams Yet we **** like newlyweds On a coastal Caribbean vacation. we eat each other’s private parts, Lick, taste, spit Like old folks who know all the tricks. And still No name, No title. No one is brave enough to define it, No one is mature enough to claim it. We don’t want to ruin it, Yet we ache to brand it, Sign it, Celebrate it Like birthdays and anniversaries Of something still untitled Whether it is love or lust’s affection.

Love feels so plural now— everyone adding their own noun, giving it any verb that fits the moment. Give it a title, call it “vibing,” or call it “just figuring things out” — wrap it all in quotation marks to avoid saying anything real. Add a little syntax, then sprinkle commas everywhere to list the endless reasons you “can’t commit right now.” _______________ Leave a space between yourselves, an underscore _  for the distance you'll say you need “to work on yourself.” Then comes the dash — that sudden break — the clean cut in the middle of the sentence: we need a break — as if punctuation could soften disappearing. Then use an exclamation mark for all of the promises you never meant to keep, loud declarations that echo empty as soon as you reread them. _______________ And finally, end it all with “I love you?” — a question mark curling around doubt, around convenience, around the half-truth of modern affection. That’s pretty much today’s lov — missing the “e,” because even love feels incomplet...
