Cries Of My Happiness. Poem by Zainab Lone

Why don't you ever talk to me?
Why don't you ever laugh with me?
I dwell somewhere deep inside you.
And live breath all the breathes with you.

When your river sometimes overflows.
When the water in it rushes out of the banks.
I absorb all the drops in myself,
And try to bring a gentle curve on your lips,

When you try to search me here and there.
When you call my name louder and louder,
I call you back and say I am here
But your mirror deflects my voice somewhere.

When you forget me in the desires of yours,
When you choose your dollars over my life,
I start to cry inside your heart,
And wish you could see me there,

When the light of your will let you down,
When the sound of your ears will betray you,
I'll still be there waiting for you,
And will call you loud like I used to do,

I hope one day you'll feel me in you,
And the reason of it will be just you,
You'll run towards me and fill me in your eyes,
So that I see the world before you do.
