Rabi Anata

She walked through streets
All day long,
She skipped and smiled
And sang a song.
...

find me somewhere broken
mend and unbend the pain
gather all my agony
rekindle the old flame
...

Someone said he would look after me
But I'm left here fighting lonely battles
I've shared all my trust
And cried all my tears
...

I think my adrenaline is flowing way too fast!
My heart plays on and off frequently;
I can't slow it down.
No, my chest is beating itself around.
...

This place is perfectly complete;
The emptiness dwells vastly
Throughout the open streets.
Thank God it's hidden from our eyes!
...

When I face time,
Will it all add up,
Or will I be behind?
Can I race to the front
...

There was, transcending the universe,
The very thought of white
Attacking everything.
The sun's fragile light bursts
...

Dear Lord help me
It seems there is nothing right here
Not in this picture
Because once again I see myself
...

We're out of time
And out of space
We're losing happiness
It was enough to begin
...

Papa sometimes told me all about myself.
He'd say, 'Someone's always watching all the wrong in a man's heart.'
I never could understand clearly just what he meant,
But I was stuck so far in it.
...

Calling back the rest of time
Was, it seemed, a big waste
I couldn't do a thing right
And my brain was confused like a little child's
...

No more break-ups or useless fights
No more quiet lonesome nights
No I can't drown the sound of critters outside
Without a voice like yours in my ear
...

I danced around my room
To the sound of M83
The song was 'Run Into Flowers'
Playing euphorically
...

what is love
but some feeling
i know of it
i know it hurts
...

Without word he headed east,
Riding horseback in a sunrise's wing.
Road unraveled,
Red Sky loomed
...

At night, you are in my thoughts.
There are tears on my pillow,
As I cry to replace sleep.
When I eat, I weep,
...

Why are there not more stories or songs,
poems or books about jumping,
clapping, and shouting for joy?
...

What I want is comfort, but everywhere I go, there is none.
Everyone is having problems, and I feel so caught in between.
It causes me pain, and I don’t want to hear anymore screaming.
I don’t want to see anymore tears to show how sad everyone’s been.
...

Confusion, doubt, self-loathing...
tired, I am so.
Every emotion, too many...
I don't know.
...

Life gives me promises
That I hope it’ll fulfill
But my wishes are always too big
My expectations are never reachable
...
