Maria Sudibyo Poems

Just want to see other's suffering
Just look to read other's angst
So I will not admit
That this is closer than I think
...

I forget not to remember
I forget everything is already over
It's slipping in my mind state
Like broken lock gate
...

Even though we are related with blood
Our life seems unconnected
We are reluctant to converse lightly
Like a stranger in a room
...

Things happen to good and bad people
When bad things happen to good people
It is called tragedy
But for bad people
...

Your flame, my flame
Who's gonna be burnt first?
Fire inside, fire outside
Who's gonna turn into ashes?
...

The date is noted
But it is not for me
The flower is bought
But it is not for me
...

Even though there is no fixed law
Even though there is no certain punishment
Even though there is no direct proof
Even though there is no blood violation
...

Just stay a little longer
For this heartbreaking warmth
Take a deep breath until the scent is no more
Stay a little longer
...

I don't want to lie
But how to tell you the truth
I should talk to you from beginning
Still how to tell you the truth
...
