Nyanyian Sang Pohon

Lagi-lagi air mataku menetes karena mereka
Membasahi daun-daun dan batangku yang perkasa
Kelakuan mereka..
Yang sudah sulit kudefinisikan lagi dengan kata-kata
Kegembiraan berubah menjadi haru dan air mata
Senyum lebarku perlahan sirna menghias duka
Angin dan hujan..
Berusaha terus mempertahankan senyum dan tawaku,
dari pahitnya gergaji kayu dan panasnya matahari
Kenapa aku tidak gembira?
Kenapa justru teman-temanku tertawa renyah saat gergaji-gergaji kotor itu menggilas tubuh mereka?
Apa mereka bangga menjadi abu?
Yang kutahu, mereka dibakar dan diterbangkan bersama angin
Tanah tempat mereka berdiri kokoh berubah menjadi gedung-gedung pencakar langit
Aku tidak rela, membiarkan tubuh ini berada di tempat pembakaran
Yang aku ingin,
Daun-daun lebatku melindungi mereka dari sengatan matahari
Buah-buah segarku dipetik dan dinikmati
Anak-anak kecil berebut tawa disampingku
Yang membuat hati kecilku menghangat, senyumku terkembang, dan ikut menikmati senja bersama mereka
Aku adalah sebuah pohon, yang masih mencari pelukis kebahagiaan daun-daun rimbunku

Sajak Tak Bertuan

Tak ada yang bisa kusajakkan selain cinta. Tak ada yang bisa kurisaukan selain rindu. Tak ada bisa kunyanyikan selain haru. Saat mataku bersafari menelusuri aksara sastra, terus berusaha menemukan namamu dari ribuan kata disana. Saat itu pula, mendung menutupi senja, seolah ingin mengatakan padaku aku harus melupakanmu. Dari sebuah perasaan yang terhalang debu, juga sekelumit jiwa yang tak paham waktu. Memberi seulas senyum dan tawa hambar, dan seolah rindunya itu yang terpenting. Aku harap pergi darinya itu menyenangkan.

LIRIK LAGU TAYLOR SWIFT

Lirik Lagu Taylor Swift - Back To DecemberBottom of Form
I'm so glad you made time to see me.
How's life? Tell me how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while.
You've been good, busier than ever,
We small talk, work and the weather,
Your guard is up and I know why.
'cause the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die.
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night",
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right
I go back to December all the time.
These days I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leavin'
When your birthday passed and I didn't call.
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times,
I watched you laughing from the passenger side.
Realized that loved you in the fall
And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was "Goodbye"
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night".
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time.
I miss your tanned skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking,
Probably mindless dreaming,
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right...
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't.
So if the chain is on your door I understand.
But this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night"
And I go back to December...It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Wishing that I'd realize what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I'd go back to December all the time.
All the time

Taylor Swift - Jump Then Fall
I like the way you sound in the morning
We're on the phone and without a warning
I realize your laugh is the best sound
I have ever heard
I like the way I can't keep my focus
I watch you talk, you didn't notice
I hear the words but all I can think is
We should be together
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa, oh, I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Be there, never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
So I'mma stay through it all
So jump then fall
Well, I like the way your hair falls in your face
You got the keys to me
I love each freckle on your face, oh
I've never been so wrapped up, honey
I like the way you're everything I ever wanted
I had time to think it all over
And all I can say is come closer
Take a deep breath then jump then fall into me
Cause Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa, oh, I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Be there, never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
So I'mma stay through it all
So jump then fall
The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet
I'll catch you, I'll catch you
And people say things that bring you to your knees
I'll catch you
The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry
But I'll hold you through the night until you smile
Whoa, oh, I need you baby
Don't be afraid, please,
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Be there, never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
So I'mma stay through it all
So jump then fall

And every time you shine, I shine
And every time you're here
Baby I'll show you, I'll show you

Jump then fall into me, into me, yeah

Taylor Swift - Love Story
We were both young, when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts-
I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air.
I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
I see you make your way through the crowd-
You say hello, little did I know...
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles-
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet"-
And I was crying on the staircase-begging you, "Please don't go..."
And I said...
Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew-
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, Oh.
Cause you were Romeo –
I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet" –
but you were everything to me-
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...
Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes-
Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
Oh, Oh.
I got tired of waiting.
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading-
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...
Romeo save me,
I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting, for you but you never come.
Is this in my head,
I don't know what to think-
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...
Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad -- go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby just say... yes.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
'cause we were both young when I first saw you

Taylor Swift - Speak Now
I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl
I sneak in and see your friends
And her snotty little family all dressed in pastel
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
Somewhere back inside a room wearing a gown shaped like a pastry
This is surely not what you thought it would be
I lose myself in a daydream where I stand and say
Reff :
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said speak now
Fond gestures are exchanged
And the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march
And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be
She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen
But I know you wish it was me
You wish it was me, don't you
Reff :
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said speak now
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
Your time is running out
And they said speak now
Ooh, la la,
Ooh, ooh
I hear the preacher say speak now or forever hold your peace
There's the silence, there's my last chance
I stand up with shaky hands
All eyes on me
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
But I'm only looking at you
I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl
Reff :
So don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
They said speak now
And you say let's run away now
I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux at the back door
Baby, I didn't say my vows
So glad you were around
When they said speak now

Taylor Swift - If This Was A Movie
Last night I heard my own heart beating
Sounded like footsteps on my stairs
Six months gone and I'm still reaching
Even though
I know you're not there
I was playing back a thousand memories baby
Thinkin bout everything we've been through
Maybe i've been going back too much lately
When time stood still and I had you
Come back come back come back to me like
You would you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside til
I came out
Come back come back come back to me like
You could you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we can work it out somehow
But if this was a movie you'd be here by now
I know people change and these things happen
But I remember how it was back then
Locked up in your arms and our friends are laughing
Cause nothing like this ever happened to them
Now I'm pacing down the hall
Chasing down your street
Flashback to the night when you said to me
Nothings gonna change not for me and you
Not before I knew how much I had to lose
Come back come back come back to me like
You would you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside til i came out
Come back come back come back to me like
You could you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we can work it out somehow
But if this was a movie you'd be here by now
If you're out there if you're somewhere if you're moving on
I've be waiting for you ever since you've been gone
I just want it back the way it was before
And i just wanna see you back at my front door
And i'd say
Come back come back come back to me like
You would before you said its not that easy Before the fight before i locked you out
But i'd take it all back now
Come back come back come back to me like
You would you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside til i came out
Come back come back come back to me like
You could you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we could worok it out somehow
But if this was a movie you'd be here by now
You'd be here by now It's not the kind of ending you wanna see now
Baby what about the ending
Oh i thought you'd be here by now oh ohh ohh ohh That you'd be here by now

 Taylor Sfift-Teardrops on My Guitar
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without.
Drew talks to me,I laugh cause it's so damn funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night.
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do.
Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be.
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love.
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause.
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do.
So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight.
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough for me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me 
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do
I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesnt like
And she'll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're lookin for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me
Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
 
You belong with me
Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me
Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me.
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me

Mine
Uh, Uh ,Uh oh
You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say can you believe it?
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I could see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes, this is what I thought about
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m.
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye
'Cause that's all I've ever known
Then you took me by surprise
You said I'll never leave you alone
You said I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine
Hold on, make it last
Hold on, never turn back
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now
I can see it
I can see it now

TAYLOR SWIFT - WHITE HORSE
Say you're sorry
That face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
Cause I honestly believed in you
Holding on
The days drag on
Stupid girl,
I should have known, I should have known
[Chorus:]
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale,
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down,
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to come around
Baby I was naïve,
Got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
My mistake, I didn't know to be in love
You had to fight to have the upper hand
I had so many dreams
About you and me
Happy endings
Now I know
[Chorus:]
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale,
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down,
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to come around
And there you are on your knees,
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry
Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale,
I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rear view mirror disappearing now
And it's too late for you and your white horse
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to catch me now
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Oh, it's too late
To catch me now

Rasa takut yang dulu kurisaukan mengajakku pada bagian akhir titik kulminasi. Membuatku kembali (lagi) merasakan sayatan perih disini, tepat pada perasaanku. Meninggalkan sepucuk luka dan airmata yang sudah kuusahakan menutupinya dengan senyum dan tawa palsu yang sering kau lihat. Tidakkah kau mengerti dari ujung mataku kalau aku (sudah) benar-benar terluka? Entahlah~ kurasa aku harus menghapus jejakmu dalam perotasian hidupku.

Kamu

Aku menemuinya. Berusaha mencari sosok dirinya diantara kerumunan manusia pagi itu. Penglihatanku beredar menyapu seluruh sudut ruangan. Mataku terpaku. Sosok yang benar-benar kurindukan akhir-akhir ini, sedang bersama rindunya yang lain.
Rindunya, yang selama ini (mungkin) berusaha dia jamah.
Dia, yang seolah tak memperhatikanku. Pengagum senjanya di semesta lain. Yang masih benar-benar butuh senyumannya untuk mengajaknya bangkit.
Mengapa ketika aku berusaha melepas bayangmu, kau datang secara tiba-tiba? Memberikan daftar kenangan indah (lagi) yang kauberi untukku. Namun, disaat aku benar-benar lupa yang namanya jatuh, kau mengacuhkanku. Bahkan tidak mempedulikanku dan tidak membantuku bangkit dari rasa sakit yang sudah sering kurasakan.
Masa lalu..
Yang sudah membuatku sakit dan terhempas. Kenangan, yang sulit untuk dilupakan seringkali menghantui perasaanku. Saat aku mencoba berbicara padamu. Berusaha mencari stok perbendaharaan kata di pikiranku. Aku gelagapan dan salah tingkah menghadapi sikapmu yang selalu seperti itu. Dingin.
Seringkali, aku bingung harus menyalahkan siapa. Dirimu, yang tidak pernah peka. Perasaanku sendiri, yang sudah hampir membunuhku. Ataukah rindumu yang lain, yang sudah membuat senyummu tak pernah pudar. Dan menghasilkan rinai gerimis di hatiku, tanpa surya dan pelangi.
Rinai gerimis itulah yang kemudian kuubah menjadi ‘senyum pura-pura’ milikku yang (mungkin) bisa membodohimu. Ekspresi.
Kurasa. Aku tidak yakin apa ilmu karma itu masih ada. Karena selama ini, aku belum pernah bertemu karma dalam mozaik hidupku.
Aku tahu kau marah.
Marah karena menjadikan dirimu tokoh utama dalam ceritaku. Namamu yang selalu mengaliri doa-doaku. Bahkan disaat aku gembira, terbayangkan senyum indah di wajahmu.
Aku rindu.
Rindu saat-saat kenangan itu ada. Kapan bisa kita ulangi lagi kenangan itu? Kenapa tidak bisa? Saat aku dan kamu berubah menjadi kita. Tanpa ada lagi dingin disaat aku menatap wajahmu. Saat kau melihatku lekat-lekat dengan mata senyummu.
Aku ingin pergi ke Paris dan memelukmu di pangkuan senja. Aku tahu itu mustahil. Tapi tak ada salahnya mencoba kan? Aku yakin, kau selalu disana. Menjelma pelita dalam lorong yang gelap dan berdebu. Mencari jati diri dari sosokmu yang sebenarnya.
Kenapa tidak ada pengulangan kenangan disini? Tak ada.

Kau tahu, percakapan kita hanya sekedar; ‘Kas, kas...’ Just it! No one more. Aku rindu semua itu. Kenangan, basket, sepakbola, lagu, dan kamu. Juga kata-kata lain yang keluar dari bibir mungilmu selain ‘Kas-kas’ mu itu.
