Riham Dabapu Poems

Shining like a pearl drop,
It trickled down her cheek
Glistening, it rolled of her chin
As the truth began to seep.
...

When we are so far apart
I get flashes of your smiling face
Now there's a gaping hole in my heart
A hole only you can replace
...

You have seized my heart with your words.
You have ripped my soul from the core
You have taken my peace and my sanity.
Can't I keep anything of mine anymore?
...

I wake up by the boom of a bomb
I have a shower in water stained with blood
I struggle to keep my clothes all clean
but they are soon dirty in the dust and mud.
...
