I've heard that you walked into a better place
With someone better in so many ways
Illuminates all your doubts
Doubts about me and any other things

I was wondering all the time we used to do
How could you pretend to be in love
Then chose to leave and be with someone else
So I thought this such a deep betrayal
You unsheathed every vein in my blood
And left incisions in my heart
Became tattoo of your name

Part of me was died flowers
When I saw you walk away
Plucked my pulse far away
Then turned me into rivers
Rivers of tears

Unsheathed by you

Memories of us just adorned my whole body
The day you told me that I am the only one
When my face covered by bright sunrise
Then you asked me to stay and smile
So I did and I smiled

We were riding all night with laughter and hugs
Having some promises to do
Promising not to leave one another
Because you told me that you're so in love
Then I believed and hold your hand tightly
'Till I realized that you've held your knife
when I was holding your hand

Kali ini sedikit berbeda. Kali ini tentang tahun yang lebih menakjubkan dari apa yang telah saya unggah di sosial media. Tentang hari baik dan hari buruk yang memberi makna di setiap detaknya. Tentang selamat pagi dan selamat malam yang konotasinya berbeda-beda. Tentang segala senyum dan patah yang tak bisa diutarakan lewat kata-kata. Juga, tentang segala isak hingga menangis meronta-ronta.

Yang satu ini untuk hari-hari berikutnya
Untuk setiap jatuh dan patah di hari selanjutnya
Untuk senyum dan kebahagiaan di waktu selanjutnya
Untuk kepercayaan yang diperuntukkan orang-orang berikutnya
Untuk puisi dan cinta di lembar-lembar berikutnya
Hingga yang satu ini, diperuntukkan kepada orang-orang baik dan orang-orang buruk yang tetap, dan masih kukirimkan cinta kepadanya


Karena kasih, sayang, dan cinta,
bukan untuk dipendam saja.

We are nothing but just pitch-black skies without stars, nor the moon
We are nothing but just a dry tree without leaves, nor flowers

We are nothing,
nothing,
nothing,
nothing,

We are just a long gone story
that connected by destiny
'till become something,
complementing,
each,
other



You,
