WE SHOULDN’T BE OVER YET By: Rika Keniatun (Finalis LCP Batch 3)

Shut my eyes, silent and starving

When the moon has come and the owl starts sing

I’m hunger for your ocean eyes and your sleek laugh

Your smooth hand that gently grasps mine with love

Thought grief will not sit with me

I was wrong, now grief is part of me

It sucks, my heart its hurting either way

Remorsful for given my hearts up to the play

My wrist is bleeding again

I feel pain

All of my eyes are wet

We shouldn’t be over yet.
