Hard Pills to Swallow

  I am so incredibly sorry you went through that. Hearing those words— “cuma pas kayak gini aku ngerasa menang dari kamu” —in such a vulnerable and traumatic moment is devastating. It makes complete sense that your mind went blank. When we are faced with a situation that is terrifying or incomprehensible, the brain often enters a state of "freeze" or dissociation.

Masih dalam diam menatapmu.
Karena kata tak lagi berarti.
Karena korteks otak perlahan mati.

Langit selalu gelap, tiap kali aku tersilap.
Merindui mu, memutar kenangan akan mu.


Pergi. Ucap mu.
Bagaimana mungkin, tuan?
Kamu tak pernah menempatkan ku di sisi mu.
Bagaimana lagi aku hendak pergi?
Aku tak pernah berada di sana sejak pertama.


Ingatkah kamu pada ku, tuan?
Saat langit menggelap.
Saat titik pertama hujan menyentuh tanah.
Saat diam diam aku menyapa:
'apa kabar? selamat malam.'

Aku rindu.
