Ali Kristianto Budiman Poems

Same old story just a different day
Just try to explain it in another way
Another failure another cry
Will we do this until we die?
...

Will these words fade as the time goes by?
Will I be welcome here after this long goodbye?

This time is ticking,
...

When you were around, you were my protection 　 　 　 　 　 　
I know it was kinda hard, but you did it to perfection
You were so protective
Sticking on me like adhesive
...

My heart can no longer feel
Even the cut of surgical steel
Longing for the night just to sleep
But keep lost count of sheep
...

I’m down on my knees but not to pray
Just to cover my face and waste another day
Reminiscing how I had failed before I even try
Never make a perfect landing because too scared to even fly
...
