Goodbye Poetry
Goodbye Poetries Side B: The Blue Man
by Bobby Yusuf
I'm standing like an hourglass, He thinks breaking me can make it last forever He's the fate-breaker, the late-regretter, He'll leave what could be fixed, But he'll miss me after he breaks me
He'll say, "You can quit your fuckwitt now," And he thought I'd last after it He thinks he's grabbing a beating heart, When it's been out of my chest for two months
He's crying, but his eyes are only 5cm from the sun He's honest, but the gun is in his hand Nobody's ready for my funeral Of myself, blue and young
"You look like what my sacrifices are for," Until you use your brightest sense, Collecting the grudge of good land And counting one running sheepdog
All over again, I'm so professional at writing some Goodbye poetry, Folding sheets I love so much
Repainting my dream, "This is just some crazy life plot." The sky is the same, but it looks sadder I don’t know if I’m blue
Road to Rome with a drunken mind, Fighting an army with a naked body "Look at your dear, he's walking out." "You can quit this fuckwitt."
Stepping stones with bleeding feet, Lust-driven by everything that calls you Revived from your grave, A grave that may haunt you to come back home
Joker and musician, both near you, Hunting you to the depth of your clothes Go start with me, go start again with me They don’t know if I’m blue
After all, I'm so professional at writing some Goodbye poetry, Folding sheets I love so much.

Trapped in a Blue Room
Goodbye Poetries Side B: The Blue Man
by Bobby Yusuf
Down at the archive room, With a thousand document files, So dark, so blue, Once red, it loses its colored lamp again, Shattered clearly, none to change
As I cry this heart out, I realized, oh no, Your file is inside it, None of me to purposely save it
I guess it's trapped in a blue room, A blue heart, long gone, impacted, Long gone, attached and affected
All the good mornings not to come, I woke up dramatically late these weeks Oh no, he made me crazy, Asking, "Where's my love been?"
Divide me into poetry and hatred, So hard to admit a love, Stonewalled to convince a way, I'm restless in my mind
Either way, I don't have the intention To have your file here; it's an invention, A record of a thousand-mile love, Even though you can come here someday
Just know you're saved, Trapped in a blue room.

Light of Phantom
Goodbye Poetries Side A: The Black Crow
by Bobby Yusuf
Both were born in February I don't know if twin matches can fit Eaten in the blue of true love-seeking We know history
Love's a fragile part of mystery But baby, I'm sacrificing You could enter my heaven's gate It's unquestionably fate for us to meet
A constellation of forever we never know It existed
But I'm a perfect birdcage I'm a perfect secret A perfect mess A well-made trophy still A solid light of phantom to you
Throw your crown easily but never throw flowers My eyes shining bright, you've seen it, I believe Night's never set for our eyes to meet
But I'm a perfect birdcage I'm a perfect secret A perfect mess A well-made trophy still A solid light of phantom to you
Dance around me Do a sad speech End the event You're most likely a clown Being kindhearted That's the funniest joke It's an open field We play games
But maybe for you, I was just a light of phantom Don't you? Don't you? I was just a light of phantom.

Biggest Moon You Landed
Goodbye Poetries Side A: The Black Crow
by Bobby Yusuf
1.0 earthquake On the king-size bed Of the 2nd floor of a hotel near Malioboro
39 Celsius cuddling I'm not gonna go back home He changed my mind, and I'm staying overnight And somehow it's a point that strikes everything
You're like a not-so-plain Asian youngster I like this silver bear hugger
I'll be the biggest moon you landed on In the land of religion you adore In your pink, old skin, I pray There you're gonna be The biggest moon I overpassed this year
Come emerge magnetic poles, I'm gonna give you either way We can do this in the corner of everywhere
Not when everyone sees, But I can say that I'm too lily To walk toward you, as you are too They can call it whatever they want As long as we both decode each other's interests
Spinning back dialogues I never thought I'd be available for skinship Or a relationship with another man
It's a freezing, twinkling star in my eyes That I know, you're on my side And it's freezing the autumn sad boy He could be, I could be
I never thought the sun would shine In the middle of a small city, in front of me I'm reflected, I'm at my moon side I just hope we'll meet at the aisle
I'm gonna marry him And let him try to make me pregnant, I swear Let him try to
I'm gonna marry him And let him try to make me pregnant, I swear
I'll be the biggest moon you landed on In the land of religion you adore In your pink, old skin, I pray There you're gonna be The biggest moon I overpassed this year
September 11th, Who can cage me? Electric battle for 7 hours And I'm just the wrong Nicola
You're the one who conducts it right Through sweet smells and curled hair It touches my soul When you said, "Something meets us together"
I was the biggest moon you saw, I hope In the land of no believers, We were in a wrong cyclone Still, you are the biggest moon I overpassed in this life.

The Wish
Goodbye Poetries Side B: The Blue Man
by Bobby Yusuf
Courageous step, I never get better Goodbye is so ceremonial, Goodbye is so casual
Ride or die? I chose both, Stealing some very bad times, Just to find the right one, In case I lose even my wandering end
Bones cracked for memories, Nothingness unbelievably made him leave The stars are perfect, It's only for one night
I wish you're not joking around, This burden is shining so golden You can see it too, but I bet you close this so much, true
I wish your goddamned mind would think about it again Our meeting is unstoppable and passionate You were good to me, And this wish just got me way too good For you to say goodbye
We were once of us against the world, In a messy condition you were not letting me go I almost settled my habits, It's a shame to this belief
Put you out of my fights, Shooting all the possible signs, Tearing for no one This freedom chose to be forevermore
Fight in the rain, The show is all closed, The determination is done, The wish is over.

The Pond
Goodbye Poetries Side B: The Blue Man
by Bobby Yusuf
You and I are a thing to see under a microscope They see these knights trying to do their best, Building a cardboard they call a dream house, Until one dies, and he leaves so easily
We were raised to see all these fishes in the pond, And choose, match, and kill And you feel like everything is nothing, It's all in between breaths and stares
You quit in spring, I start near winter What a time to dig for nothing, And you shift into someone I barely want
Your number is not on mine anymore The gate is locked again, and I'm tired, Rotting in one theme song that always ends This childminding is crazy
You are cold like the North now, And I'm as warm as June And we are still in the same pond, And I'll practice staying in it forever
Your number is not on mine anymore The wheel is punctured, and I'm tired, Rotting in one dance that always ends This childminding is hopeless
You are like a bird in the changing of seasons, And I didn't move with you And even in the same pond, I still need to practice how to Keep this heartache hidden and cured, To stay in it forever, Without you.

A Morning
Goodbye Poetries Side B: The Blue Man
by Bobby Yusuf
A morning I woke up on November 11th, Another "Not the best year" is in my head Good luck is on the rock bottom, I wasted my lights for someone Who doesn't really need it
"Love of your life" changed in my dictionary Into "love of your age." I remember seeing you walking toward me, I think it's better to kill myself Rather than assassinate him
A morning I woke up on November 12th, You're not in my ears, And I noticed why my friends think it's a joke For a 21 and 43 to walk down an aisle in Sydney But at least he's the only man that Made my mom feel guaranteed
But in the morning, he's gone like a criminal He runs from our unfinished dream home I think it's not barbed wire, He just cut my pride off
And it's all okay in my head Until I woke up on November 13th This chest is hollowed fresh, Even to give it up on screen, he doesn't
Was tragic and too much, Played the crown enough I can't pretend to sleep And stay awake in the morning
Thank God, I can hold the cracking barrier In front of my expecting friends He's just a morning nightmare.

The Bluest Baby I Ride
Goodbye Poetries Side B: The Blue Man
by Bobby Yusuf
Oh, a calm water under a broken ship, I'm going to say my goodbye Is there anything you want to take from me? From minutes to hours to days
You didn't take the chance
No need to wave at me, That's only going to make this feeling worse I wish you would come with me, But you didn’t
The bluest baby I ride Is a man-girl, never trying to understand shit And it's fine, I loved him, I never said I didn't
Do you want to wait for me? If I come there, tell me, how happy are you? Will you make it real? Or are you just going to say another goodbye?
For that endless trip, I wish I could count from country to country, But that's your life, And I didn't
Your life is a mystery of the ocean, And I'm no good researcher, To find the truth, It would only hurt me more
The bluest baby I ride Is a man-girl, never trying to understand shit And it's fine, I loved him, I never said I didn't
My presence is a sorrow I won't see you tomorrow The ego is high, but that mountain is way too high I won't see you tomorrow
But I'll send you back to Yogyakarta, A land of grace, you said But I can't say when you'll arrive I just have this ability to hope
That the bluest baby I ride Will turn so red with happy news, Of a happy wife to come here, And I'm none, life has been too good
Just know that maybe I was the bluest baby you rode.

Poetry of Goodbye
Goodbye Poetries Side B: The Blue Man
by Bobby Yusuf
My dearest best friend said we're a twin flame, My mom said we're a country blade, But once I tripped when I opened the door, I don't wanna call you my ex, nor
I don't wanna call you life lessons, Your big brain can't fit my small heart I'll find a boy that can buy me forever, While you're with someone your age there
You're just what I don't wanna write in my memo, But now you're my Poetry of Goodbye.

All The Time It's Blue
Goodbye Poetries Side B: The Blue Man
by Bobby Yusuf
Stumbled through the darkest night When you say that you look tired But what can I do in front of a phone? You expect me to cuddle you in seconds In about 1800 kilometers
Another day you tried to be tough You tried a new method with not wanting me I remembered the first time you said You really like my voice, you really miss it Since we are as close as bedcover to bedsheets
And oh, what an independence day And oh, what a superior of a sun And oh, I'm just a longing moon right here I can never reach you I can never match you
You told me the reality we both know It's like we're different planet creatures And so there are many differences But I remembered when you sent me signals The frequency is as close as ink in a paper
And oh, what a forgetting attempt And oh, till the hurts of life come back And oh, I can't run but enjoy it Cause in life, if all the time it's blue Then what can they say? As inhumane the portion I'm going to take it anyway
Since I was a kid, I'm risking it Can't say now I'm mature I’m always trying to build a sandcastle 4 meters from a raging ocean wave
It's so beautiful and it's so short It's so meticulous and it's so fragile It's so courteous and it's so dumb All the time it's blue
What you expect from this ocean wave Trying to build another sandcastle But you don't wanna, so Best of luck, best of luck
All the time it's blue.

My Blue and Your Blue
Goodbye Poetries Side B: The Blue Man
by Bobby Yusuf
My blue and your blue It's mixing and turning red I wish I could convince you to stay a bit So you can see me more as you concentrate
But what can I say? You made up your mind and paid things Before I even proposed my offer And it's fine, cause every breath I breathe It's filled with you I love this life with you
But when my blue and your blue Start to argue, I can see it's turning black and white And less maintained, an old house
You said we can build a new town But you're not successful And I'm sorry for being a bad project partner But at least we tried
And you’re gone from this office This office is so lonely And all I can do is try to figure out
How my blue and your blue can't be one How my blue and your blue always dominate How my blue and your blue not really nice How my blue and your blue can't see
It's the most perfect opportunity for us To live together.

Dead Blue Street
Goodbye Poetries Side B: The Blue Man
by Bobby Yusuf
Dead blue street, butterfly charmed Red lights and gleam of a drowned man You're in your jacket, walking in rare clothing Think I'm falling in love with the fall of me again
Kiss me harder and harder Slip thoughts through your locked neck Kiss me more and more and more Moon-blinded time shining
Hit me harder and harder Leave the street blue and dead We're so red, very red
Melted face, buttery—it's all fun With our faces so fine, Look at the mirror Look at the mirror
Go sink the ship and cannon the cannonball I'm watching him watching me watching a movie Wind drives, boy beast—please do me, full teeth Confuse the confusion, act the action
Do me like a fresh poem Pure and melodic scent I'm trying to stop the unstoppable Force me to the northest
We're the Bonners Clyders Bone eaters, we're the world ignorers Impress dogs awfully delightful We're just falling in our spin
Skin on the chain You go tank weight Chest eyes to chest eyes Ring you in and out So many times I can't count
Leave the street blue and dead Break my body, not this bed Wreck me in your classic spelling I'm watching your tied eyes
Leave the broken heart broken Vendetta is me, it's your trigger level Drive the hump like nitro I'm watching me lose sight
Look at us—can you see the attract? The blue hour is full of fireworks The blaze of two chemicals I found you, somehow, everything Every time it shines me out.

I always find my way back—like a butterfly to a nectar. Resistance feels sore when he mistreats me too intensely but I still have hope. I love him like a devoted believer, even though he’s a twisted bible and it seems I'm the only one willing to read. He stands at the center of my heart’s fragile castle, acting like a sledgehammer with all himself. And me? I’m just somewhere on the edge of his head.
Still, he has me. I’ve always known he would. I saw it coming from the first glance, from that sweet dreams gaze. Even now I'm bruised and broken, I believe he’s still my mister.
Isn’t that what love is supposed to be? A tiring efforts to keep the relationship alive, even when it’s tearing you apart? Anyway, I'm drawing my canvas far.
My surprise (1.5th) poetry anthology titled "Nicotine Stains" will be out on January 10th 2025. In toxicity you'll find your own cure. Also Goodbye Poetries Side B: The Blue Man will be out next Friday. 🤍💜

Goodbye Poetries is split into two sides: The Black Crow and The Blue Man. For now, take your time exploring Side A before diving into the remaining 26 tracks. 😆
The cover art of this poetry anthology draws inspiration from ancient Roman coins. Why? Because the stories within are unpredictable, shuffled, and unaligned—much like flipping a coin or seizing unexpected opportunities in life. Goodbye Poetries, my first re-debut anthology, is out now. 😆

Promise
THE END of Goodbye Poetries Side A: The Black Crow
by Bobby Yusuf
I'm trying to be faithful to you But I guess you're tired of doing this too It's better to leave you, before you leave me But it seems better if you leave me without a warning
I hate promises So utopic, it feels unreal So hypocritical and dreamy
You know me the best And maybe you'll say You're not a man who can hold a promise, don't you?
I promised my ex that if he left me Then I'd never smile again Now I'm at a cafe, talking, smiling with someone new Cause it's easy for someone to throw away their crown
You can't tell me where I will go every day But you know my mind, I'm daydreaming about you But I'm looking for a man on some street And I don't have a bulletproof vest
And you know I'm honest Like a drop of honey, up on a tall tree But still, you can't taste the comb So you'll say, You're not a man who can hold a promise, don't you?
Maybe I'm really looking for someone I guess it, you’re just being tactical Or you’re just pessimistic, maybe you feel it What are the things you need to complete first from us?
Before you end this love Before you wrap this year
Love me like a parent, Like a blood spell Like a manroot Like a loyal dog
We dragged too far from the promise.

Lover
Goodbye Poetries Side A: The Black Crow
by Bobby Yusuf
If history is on repeat, I'll be a stupid martyr again I can't unsee you no more
Feels like a show that never ends Between me and you Who will be brave enough to be a groom?
I guess it's not you, neither me Catastrophic event, Trojan horse Unwanted, six stars A lover? I can't say more
Loving you was like I took my time in the bathroom for so long Until everyone outside was screaming Like sleeping for so long to chase a dream Until I'm dehydrated
Someone says the busy life of this city Can separate a lover who found each other But what about Australia, a different land That can separate anything?
And our boxes are fragile I take care of them like shit, I know Well, maybe that's why we didn't last Or maybe it's just a sign, I made it easy
I’m trying to find the exit door to take a break You’re trying to find it to leave Call us a lover? Can't say more
Dreams are nothing harmless A beginning wrapped with an ending I burst, and so I'm empty I'm not regretting, I'm just writing my poems
The show was good, but there's a lot you can see I'm not gonna say yes if you ask me to wait I'm just gonna let this patient die No passion, no patience either
I'm leaving this universe I'll exchange it I'm not amazed enough So to call us a lover? I can't say more.
