A Heartbeat Away Poem by Yassar Ali

It seems like an eternity since I last saw you
But somehow I have barely made it through
Through the suffering and pain
As I fall in the dirt in the rain
How do I explain to you
Everything am going through
Living in this so-called real life
With my body pierced by a knife
A knife called love my friend
Which brings your life to an end
If you don’t cherish the moment
To get over the unreal torment
But if you don’t truly appreciate it
The fire goes out that was once lit
Setting aflame two hearts to beat as one
To make sure all the aching pain is gone
Why fight true loves power
Let it blossom like a flower
Your my aid when my heart skips a beat too many a time
When am lost for words you help me end this rhyme
Baby why does there have to be such a distance
You know I would be by your side in an instance
Yet am left here in a nightmare of my own
Waiting for you in order for me to be reborn
Then in honour to you I will take bow
But that’s a very long time from now
How’s the early morning breeze treat you
Does it make you question whether the moment is true?
Well that’s how I feel when am around you
I just freeze and don’t know what to do
If you get this and don’t reply
I will understand that it’s all a lie
Please wherever you are
My special shining star
Just give me a sign
Or else I will resign
