Disconnected Space Poem by Lubna Hazeem

Who am i?
Is this a dream?
Nobody is listening

There's no light
And i can not see
Nothing is glistening

Stars can only be lit
When they're comforted
Darkness can only give
My doubt's alternatives

So i can only hope, i can only hope
That reality's more than tightened ropes
And i am more than just some bitter soul
Searching to conclude and to resolve......

But the truth is that i am
Unfulfilled and unplanned
The truth's out of my hands
Yet you're indeed in mine...

Asleep, i may be
But never so awake
Swimming in the sea
Of disconnected space

And as i hold you in
I breathe a little inside
And watch my inner being
Slowly come to life....

You are life in me....
You are life in me....
Oh.....
