I took a stand to trash-talk to my future.
I told it not to give a straight-up damn with the monsters called "memories".
I told it not to give a straight-up damn with the demons called "regrets".

I told it to just take a chill pill and live by the day. By that sway.

When you said your last goodbye,
I must admit I died a whole lot inside.

Gone will be the times when I can touch your smiles.
When you'ld pick me up when I start to crumble into pieces and start to cry.

I will no longer have the shoulders to lean on.
And that when I wake up, you're all gone.

The Lover's Guile

Like the one that never moved away.
Like the would that never stopped bleeding.

susuk tubuhmu masih genap di ujung jelingan mataku.
masih kuat rembesnya calit-calit kenangan lampau.


***


salju.
hatiku kini umpama diselimuti salju tebal.
dingin.
kerna kamu.
kerna kamu hilang berlalu.
