Drop Dead Gorgeous

She starves herself, one day at a time. Weighs herself but isnt satisfied. Over the toilet she purges her binge. The fingers she uses to gag herself are twisted and thin. Her teeth are rotting at their core. Her tongue is singed and her throat is always sore. Her stomach is shrinking and her bones protrude. Never enough and its not worth the food. But none of that really matters, because she's drop dead gorgeous.

Each day that goes by she hates herself. More and more she beats herself. Taking the razor that leaves her skin bare, she cuts herself ten times without any care. She loves the blood as it beeds up from her incisions. She smiles as it throbs and is glad with her decision. She deserves it, she thinks she's not worth it. And each time it goes deeper and the scar will grow longer. And each time the pain and addiction grow stronger. But none of that really matters, becuase she's drop dead gorgeous.

In the shower she always cries. She wishes the day would wash off each night. Her tiresome life is filled with crying and sometimes she feels she shouldnt even be trying. She constantly tries to live up to the standard but she's so fatigued she cant even speak a solitary word. But none of that matters, because she's drop dead gorgeous.

Out of the shower, she dries off her tears. Puts on more makeup year after year. Piles it on to cover any imperfections. She knows society has no objections. Her mascara bleeds as she cries at the mirror. down her face and off of her chin, she begins to sob because she'll never be thin. She drops her concealer into the sink filled with swirling mascara tears looking like ink. It seems that she cant go a minute without thinking that she is insufficient. But none of that matters, because she's drop dead gorgeous.

She finally feels that she's had enough, she cant take anymore, things are just too rough. She finds all the pills that are stored in her home and she downs them without so much as a moan. She falls to the floor silently and fast and later found by those who lover her at last. They cant believe what they see and the lack of what they feel. The ambulence comes and it still doesnt seem real. Her stomach is pumped but it was too late. Suicide seemed to be her true fate. So her family and friends sit and cry. They had no idea things had gone so awry. The people who loved her were the ones that were so hurt. But none of that matters, because she's dropped dead.

gorgeous?

Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes


oh hi again..
it's been a long time..

bebearapa jam lalu saya sempat kena serangan jantung kecil ( kaget yang luar biasa maksudnya ) ketika seseorang mencoba menghubungi saya lewat skype, saat itu saya mencubit tangan saya sendiri. seperti mimpi " nick smith calling " 
lalu saya klik tombol answer with video.

sejenak saya terdiam. 
dia tersenyum dan mulai menyapa saya. 
oh betapa tadi saya seketika lunglai saat dua bola mata biru itu menatap saya . masih teduh seperti yang dulu. 
suaranya masih tenang setenang yang dulu.
dia pemandangan yang indah untuk mata yang sedih ini.

coba terangkan bagaimana bisa saya bisa membangun lagi benteng kepercayaan yang sudah kamu bombardir hancurkan segala sisi?

and sometimes ....

Sometimes I don't want them to go away.
Sometimes I want them all to stay.
I want to count, categorize and remember;
even the ones that overlap each other.

Sometimes I want to wear short shorts, and a tank top when I go out with friends.
Sometimes I want people to see them.
And see what they say, if anything at all.
Even the kids I don't know and the parents they condemn.

It might be scary looking,
but it's not about the pain of the afterwards.
Granted, it hurts when no one sees or cares what's been happening.
but isn't it, hasn't it always been my choice?

As soon as I get up the courage it seems like they always disappear.
What if no one believes me?
without the proof what I know was there.

Sometimes I don't want them to go away.
I want to walk around with them in plain sight.
In the rain, on a cloudy day.
Maybe even at night.

I don't want pity, it only brings me shame.
but I want to be proud of this game I've played.
I just want to smile, say it's okay.
This is just skin deep baby, don't be afraid.

Sometimes I just want people to look my way.
To do a double take and see beneath my daily display.
I want to be able to smile at them and say..
This is what happens when we waste our lives away.

I Love You

I love you beyond expression and imagination.
Beyond even my own recognition.

I love you here, where, somehow it's unfairly forever.
Where, something bursts but I know it shouldn't be put back together.

I love you beyond speaking, seeing, and feeling.
And thinking is not in my vocabulary. *wink*

---

I love you for no time limit, I promise I won't expire.
Just promise me one thing love,-Don't leave me to die here.

I love you for you-how could it be anyone else?
Even if nothing about you ever makes sense..

I love you without condition or contract; without rules or regulations.
how do you expect to love with shackles on your heart?

---

I love you with my whole, heart, and soul,
I love it when you look at me and I know you know.

I love how your eyes can find me in light and dark
And how you'll make my day with a bad joke or funny remark.

I love how when I'm empty you find a way to fill me up.
Even if it's just pizza and super warm hug.

---

I love how your eyes play tricks on me and I kiss you to stop,
I love how when I see you my shoulders lift, and my heart stops...

I love your playfulness and your absolute need for fun.
I love your anxiety and your insistence on being the last one..

I love your warmth and your ability to give love so freely
And how you somehow opened me up to live life fully.

---

I love you more than the sun, stars, and sea
but without them you wouldn't be the same to me.

I love you, it's as simple as that...
and I hope you know that's why i steal your belt, jacket, and hat.

I love you as I've said and I'm waiting to hear it from you
But i guess the real problem is that you'll never know how much I really love you

First Light

sometimes you lie awake at night and things you've drowned deep inside your mind suddenly surfaced, giving you no chance to drown it back. you're surprised because you thought those boxes were already gone. you tied them to a balloon and they flew away into the clouds.

but there they are. sealed like the last time you saw them.

you tried balloon last time, so you try a heavy rock this time. too bad that bridge was already burned. you can't push them to the shore and off to the sea because you're afraid. afraid that it's you who's going to get drowned while those boxes laughing at you. you don't want that. so you decide to unseal the box.

one of those boxes is now unsealed. but it's still closed. you hesitated. you don't want to open it. you wish that box would just disappear. so that you don't have to choose: opening that box or unsealing yet another box. but you still have to chose. and so you chose the latter.

another one is unsealed. now you have to choose again. and so you unseal another. and another, until nothing's left. your palms are sweating now. you try to search for another option so that you don't have to open those boxes but there's none.

you try to kick away the fear. it escaped your heart only to stay in your hands.

they tremble.

you reach a box and put it on your lap. you feel like Pandora now. but she only got one while you got many. the gods left it in her hands but yours came from yourself. with that box on your lap, still you hesitated. you can wait forever but deep down you know you can't run forever. you're tired.

so you open that box.

you hold your breath while it take you down the memory lane. not that time when you laugh till you cry though. nor that time when people congratulate you on your birthday, your wedding, your son's birthday, or your son's wedding. not those times. because you remember real well you didn't put laughter and happiness locked inside some boxes. you let them roam freely inside your heart.

what greets you when you open that box is a wind. a sad, weeping wind. you can hear people crying when it blows your face and your hair.

those people were you.

this first box you opened is filled with that memory when your friends said they want to stop being your friends.

you thought you already let that memory go. because they apologized and everything went back like it used to be, if not better. then why is it you still have that box? does it mean that all this time you're just pretending you've let it go? no. that's not the case. then what? what does it mean?

you're confused.

the anger and sadness made their way back into your heart. and the memory back to your mind. you hold your head and kneel. touching your forehead with that wet sand under your feet. you cry like a baby. but this time mom isn't there to soothe you. and neither is your brother/sister, boyfriend/girlfriend, nor your husband/wife.

still in tears, you grab the second box.
you found that time when you asked for someone, anyone, but noone came.

third box.
that time when you found out you couldn't be loved for who you are.

fourth box.
that time when it's you who said you want to stop being someone's friend.

fifth box.
that time when you reached for help but everybody's hands were too busy to touch you, let alone reach you.

sixth box.
that time when you hugged your knees because noone was there to hug you.

seventh box.
that time when you slashed your wrist because you thought the pain in your hand would ease away that pain in your heart.

eighth box.
that time when you felt blood running from your vein to the floor and to the sink.

and ninth box.
that time when your consciousness slipped away.
when everything turned black and there's no light at the end of the tunnel.

you thought you're going to hell.
because you thought you deserve hell.
because you knew you're not going to heaven.

and then you realized it wasn't a dream you're in.
it wasn't a sleep you went to.



it was death.







you're dead.





you're dead.
before you get to chase your dream.
before you get to see your child/grandchild smiling.

and worst of all, before you get to say "i love you" to that someone you always think about.
whose name filled your ears, mind, and heart.

you can't cry. because your tears has run dry.
you can't scream. because nobody will hear you out.
so you just stood there, oblivious to everything.
you look at the sky. there's no moon but it's full of stars.

you sit quietly, already calmed yourself after being overwhelmed with the truth you wish you never knew. then you lie on your back, trying to count the stars while waiting for the sun to rise. though deep down, you know there'll be no sun. you get calmer and calmer. is it the tranquil sound of the wave? or the warm tickling of the sand? whatever it is, you feel better now.

you then remember about that letter you left on your bed. you feel relieved because at least you get to say goodbye. you smiled. to your surprise, the first light hits your chin, then your lips, and your cheek. still smiling, you close your eyes.

you're ready now.
