This Love Hurts. Poem by zainab khawaja

I know nothing of your cries,
I know only of my tries,
To tell you That youre not alone,
That I am still by your side
Remain in my heart the feelings i had for you,
That are true as God is in our lives,

But what, and if you never love me this way,
Like every other heartless one who came,
Will i still smile and laugh that way?
When i believed there was hope to find space in your life,
What, when all hope comes crashing down,
Leaving my heart all empty and used,
The pain ill feel will rest with me,
For lonely nights and days to come i fear,
Tears upon tears will pool around me,
And what if i never swim through..?

I hear your cries even in the quiet,
But only if my words could soothe you,
Beacuse a time has come when i dont matter,
For all i know i never mattered,
This time has come when youve gone so far,
Making me feel like ive lost you,
I care so much that it hurts,
To know that you dont want me,
And still your cries reach me,
But only if these words...this love could also reach you.
