Citra's Heart
In shadows deep, where whispers dwell, Citra's heart bears a silent swell.
Love, a flame that flickers dim,
A dance of light, now growing grim.
Yes, its true!
Damar's gaze, once warm and bright,
Now cuts her dreams like shards of night.
With tender words, he drew her near,
Yet left her soul in threads of fear.
Each promise made, a fleeting ghost,
In laughter's echo, she found her host.
But time unveiled the hidden scars,
As love turned fleeting like fading stars.
Hmm...yeah!
Her tears, a river, flow and break,
Each drop a choice, each ache a stake.
In longing’s grasp, she finds her pain,
A bittersweet song, a haunting refrain.
Yet still she hopes, though hearts may bend,
For love can twist, but it won’t end.
In every sorrow, a lesson learned,
For love, though painful, is fiercely earned.
Citra gazes sadly at Damar, her heart is wounded. "Did you hear the verses of poetry about me, you, and this sadness?" Citra whispered, with tears streaming down her face.
Damar heard a faint and distant voice. Even though Citra was clearly in front of him, his heart was also wounded and disappointed. Here’s a poem from Damar's perspective, expressing his feelings about Citra's love.
In Shadows of Doubt
In the silence, whispers fade,
Citra's laughter, a fragil
Citra felt something unusual within herself because she admired Kencana, her senior in high school, who was also a girl. They became close and even lived together for a while, which sparked feelings of love. Her love for Kencana was masked by her romantic relationship with Damar, a famous young actor. However, both her romantic relationship with Damar and her closeness with Kencana ended when she had to move to America. But when Citra returned to Indonesia, she was shocked to learn that Damar had proposed to Kencana, and they were about to get married. Her heart was shattered; she didn't love Damar, but she certainly couldn't bear to lose Kencana.
