Ruby - Astari Boedikoentjara
I don’t expect you to see
all the good in me
all that I’d like to be
anything lovely.
I need this
Break his spells
You might as well
Never say his name
End his game
We know what he is
Last night you appeared
right there in my dream
as real as I refused to see
you smirked at me, it seemed
“I haven’t got you yet,”
I believe there’s a reason
your shattered heart’s been revealed
even when you refuse to mention
or worry you may never heal
I know I’m just a stranger
You need us and we need you
like humanity needs to stay true
Why do we need to be reminded
by another tragedy that leaves us shattered?
A tremor that shook you all
I’m not looking for romance
I don’t even want to dance
still unsure with you,
‘though you seem honest and true
I don’t know
Will I see you
sometime in the near future?
You sound sure
You keep convincing me
your intention is true
Make sure you have something
worth watching for
because you demand
your audience’s attention,
taking up their time
absorbing their energy
Ask me not
about the bastard
who’d made this heart
nothing but a toy
my emotions, his sickest joy
They think her life is always easy
far away from poverty
Spend away and be free
Oh, they have no idea
It’s a hard worker’s earned paradise
I can never really get rid of you,
can I?
No matter what I do
or how I should often lie
while trying hard not to cry
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
