The Anguish Poem by Raniyal Niyada

Sharp iron nail sweeps into my heart
A harsh hand crushes it tight
Helpless before these tears I am
And the man I love is deep in pain
I stand there agog,
Not a word leaves my mouth
As if by glue they remained fixed
He turns out to me for help
And I, I don't know what to say
How could I learn to lessen death?
A vacuum of vacuums....
Here my hands try to reach out to him
To pull him close and ease the pain
But beyond my reach he is....
I find his vulnerable eyes
Looking at me, crying out for help
O how I wish to take the anguish to myself
To scramble of the pain that is eating him....
My week limbs stays paralyzed
If only I know how....
Here sits me, on this road of melancholy
With my heart crumbling to pieces
Helplessly my tears flows
Wishing them to ease his pain....
