What if I get everything I ever want and it's still not enough, the money, the clothes, the house, the career? What if I get it all and it still isn't enough because I don't have you? What if it brings me back to all those years ago when I realized no amount of money or career or tangible things could ever equate to what we had and our puppy dog love and everything we shared and our laughs and our cries and our talk about a future.

hate poetry.
it left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Your love is a threat and I'm nauseous

By people who've left, so you scare me to death
...

Chosen by the divine,
A love so pure, so sublime.
Blessed by the Almighty's grace,
Guided through life's endless race.

la tahzan, Do not grieve, Allah is with us

In the depths of sorrow's embrace,
When the world seems dark and bleak,
