Ruby - Astari Boedikoentjara
Bright lights, late at night
from the city streets so quiet
He woke up in a daze
with blood on his face
his memories erased.
The grip of reality
slowly taking over me
away from my real hobbies
all in the name of making more money
I know I’m busy
No more magic?
Why vacant as it is?
Who took all of it?
Nothing to pick.
Dementors have resided,
“How do I catch monsters?”
I’m probably one of the many girls
who asks such a question.
They’re welcomed to wonder:
“Why do you wish to catch any monsters?
Oh, you're so dying to be right
assuming us in complete denial
clearly begging for that spotlight
Your accusations are beyond wild
way out of line
I’ve decided to keep my old vow
that I shall never love
anyone like I’ve loved you.
No, please don’t say ‘wow’.
I don’t mean it as a compliment.
There’s still a lot about me, oblivious to you.
They say patience is a virtue
and fairy tales aren’t true.
There’s no such thing as ‘love at a first sight.
Such a childish mentality isn’t right.
I know we’ve just met
Advice?
More of them?
Truth or lies?
Should I give a damn?
I understand
I must do what’s right
kicking you out
out of my sight
You were never mine
I was stupid and blind
but now I’m fine
This stage should not be skipped,
yet many often get past it,
in the name of love from another
in hopes, the one will stick around longer,
if not forever.
There’s still that hailstorm in my heart
The ice is solid
a perfect, although temporary patch
to fill the holes in its walls
I’m feeling cold
Another year gone by
left without questions why
The same old rituals
the familiar matters
The same old, mundane conversation
