Existensial Crisis

By Isna Nuraeni

Those laughters and those screams

Filling each the corner, they surround me

Those screeches and those squeaks

Alive

What is this feeling, why do I feel empty? 

I see you come,  but you'd never stay

You tore me apart then you walk away

It breaks me, it does

But what can I say? 

If I knew you would never reply

Why are you afraid of me? 

What have I done, you tell me

I'm innocent as my existence

So touch me, hug me

Linger me with your warmth as you lean on me

I am the best among the rest

But, still,  you pick me as your last

So why did I live for? 

When you only knew to ignore

As I laugh,  I said, "I just want to love you more"
