~ Sad Eyes ~

in between her sniff and sigh
she peek at me
casting her fearful glance
hands on her eyes

in between her sniff and sigh
she was scared
she was afraid
of me

she cried and she cried that night
fearing my anger
fearing my temper
and the thought that I would leave her

for good.

"Sayang... cep cep..."
"Jangan nangis lagi..."
"Udah, deddy nggak marah lagi kok"
"Deddy sayaaaang banget sama kamu..."

and she looked at me and said
"Deddy... Kalen... nggak... nakal... lagi..."
