Illusion of Anxiety

by marrie

I see it 12 when it's actually 11am.
The anxiety of mine causes this.
I am not intending to write a poem or anything,
But I just need to express these words.

Now, the time is ticking.
No.
It always and ever will tick.
As I'm searching the right word to say,
The best word to display,
Time flies away.

Half an hour has passed.
I am still looking for words.
Sitting all alone, listening to the blowing wind.
Soon, my illusions will come true.
It'll be 12 for real, and I'll be seeing 1, too.

Riz: Diyana, please. I betul-betul sayangkan you. Why are you doing this to me? You kata I was your everything?

Diyana: Yes, you were my everything. Sekarang I dah sayangkan orang lain.

Riz: Senang je you cakap kan, Dee. After what we've been through, you nak tinggalkan I macam tu je?!  You pun tahu I dah plan nak kahwin dengan you next year.

Diyana: Riz, please. You need to get over me. Okay, look. You kata you sayang I, kan?

Riz: I betul-betul sayangkan you, Diyana Syazlan.

Diyana: Okay, then. Kalau you betul-betul sayangkan I, Let me be with the one I really love.

Riz: Pffftt!! Siapa ajar you ni? Kalau I sayang you, I kahwin la dengan you. Kenapa I nak lepaskan you and biarkan orang lain jadi ayah kepada anak-anak you? But, phew, Dee. Luckily you cakap macam tu. Tiba-tiba sayang I untuk you dah hilang. Okay, semoga you happy dengan the new guy. Bye!
