Only a Fool

 

Why do (some) people tend to choose the wrong love? Over and over again? Don't they have enough lesson before that? 

Or they just ignore their intuition at the first place. And follow their heart?

(Follow their heart to fall for the person who consider a relationship just like a pair of socks he can discard anytime?)

P. S.:

"Only a fool breaks his/her own heart". One very old song.

Contentment

 

Do you feel contented in your life?

I did, before you came into my life. 

Despite the fact that I realized there was a void in it. 

After I let you go, the void was back. The contentment was still somewhere I don't know. 

Why didn't it come back to me together with the void? Did you steal it? At the same time when you stole my heart?

Void

 

Letting go is taking off our heavy backpack after carring it for a very long day. We are supposed to feel unburdened, aren't we?

But why did I have this void inside my heart after letting you go?

Nice reading

You in my life

with you

in my life

my days seem much more exciting

 

however

on the contrary

without you

my life seems much more peaceful

:

Can I say peaceful is the opposite of exciting?

ILUSI

 

dan bungaku layu

saat kata-kata manismu nan penuh sembilu terucap

menusukku

berdarah-darah

 

barang kali satu saat nanti

(andai kau kembali)

rasa yang pernah kita kenal

yang pernah membawa kita ke satu hasrat yang sama

akan memilih makna yang berbeda

yang mungkin tak kan lagi kau kenali

 

kau barang kali bukan penjahat yang tak punya hati

hanya aku yang bermimpi menjadi penyair

sedang ringkih saat

kau melintas

dan lambaikan tangan

berharap kusediakan ruang dalam hidupku

untuk kau singgahi
