A Part Of Me Poem by Alaa ...

A part of me

Why does it always
have to happen to me
people come and go
and yet they never see
the marks they make
and the scars they leave
they just never know
that with departure
they take a part of me

they decide suddenly to get out of my life
although they came in with no permission
me...i beg...i strive
my soul bleeding cold with my aggression
i end up broken,
neglected in the dark
feeling small, useless
pain unspoken
they...
sad... they walk away
thinking only they are hurt
and not me
risky spirits
they turn to be
able to continue
live happily and free

every time i go ask my mirror
is it revenge...
is god punishing me
or is it a sin to love
with no limits to be
cruel how they are
leaving simply
thinking only they are hurt
and not me
whatever i did
whatever i said
they just never know
that with departure
they take a part of me
