#Poetry 1 - Heart Not Linked

Heart Not Linked

By Heri Cahyono

I was silent in solitude

Lamented the severity of life's trials

Crying endures the pain of suffering

Hoping for love that never comes

I daydream in a heartache

Whimpering with pain

Carry the brunt of blasphemous insults

Dispel the world's cruel insults

My heart erodes the sweet words

My soul was lulled by tragic praise

The mind cannot break the attitude

Always hoping to mourn more

When the heart gets closer

When the soul is tightly bound

The sharp blade cuts the turns

A separate heart is not intertwined

Destiny is determined

Fate was chosen

But what do we expect?

Only the self changes the situation
