KEKAL FANA

Original Submission by Qistina ‘Aisyah Binti Mohamad Sayuti

KEKAL FANA

Semisalnya menemukankanku

Kau hanya menemukan jalan buntu

Apakah kau siap?

Bagaimana jika langkah kita yang seiringan

Pada akhirnya berhenti tanpa alasan.

Bagaimana jika tentang kita yang kau langitkan selama ini

Membuatkan kau hampa karna masa laluku?

Bagaimana jika bersamaku

Kau perlu menjalani kisah sedih yang pada awalnya tidak terlulis untukmu?

Apakah kau siap mendengarkan dongeng di setiap malamku?

Apakah kau siap menerima watak-watak diduniaku?

Apakah kau siap menjalani takdir hidupku yang tidak bernoktah pasti?

Gusti puteri
