Ruby - Astari Boedikoentjara
I found your old letter
while removing some clutters
I read it again
and felt a slight jab of pain
You said you were sorry
Are you coming home tonight?
I’m waiting for you
I’d rather stay up
because your phone cannot be reached through
Where are you now?
I've been transported back in time
something familiar
yet also bizarre
the same old Twilight Zone
with the same old Culture of Silence
Call me cruel
but I’ve been fooled
These scars don’t heal overnight
Don’t ask me to pretend I’m alright
I’m silently, patiently waiting
Enjoy these moments
of zero torments
no demands
except work to be done
Pseudo-romance
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
Are you ready
to be what you’ve always wanted
like dreams inside your head
instead of nightmares causing dread?
There’s only one way
to restore your peace of mind completely
Yes, you’ve already let him go
He’s never going to run the same sick show
Start making him
This ain’t no desperation
I’m just contemplating
weighing my options
seriously considering
Yes, we don’t get to choose
Stay awake
Tons of work that always wait
No time to waste
Not many choices anyway
Ask me not
I miss talking to you
It’s plain simple and true
I understand, we’re both busy
Perhaps this is not the time, I see
No, I’m not going to fret
A spiteful little man
started his day with a mean comment
saying women with makeup are stupid
wasting their fortunes on expensive tidbits
A quick way for an attention-seeker
