Why Is There An End? Poem by zainab khawaja

Why Is There An End?



Where is that eye?
Which was to watch over me tonight...
Where is that heart?
Which was supposed to love me tonight...

I wonder and wonder still,
Why you left me this way,
To broken shadows of happiness now walking away,
To memories of empty dreams now ashes to sway,

Why was this the end?
Why was there an end?
When I ask myself I hear my mind,
Screaming and tearing away,

You did this to me,
For all the reasons you never gave,
What tonight i dont seem to understand,
Is why you even loved me in the first place?

To leave this heart hollow?
To give this soul pain?
Im trembling under this blanket,
Of cold loneliness that remains,

The skies never turn blue,
Time never moves,
What am i to do,
If i keep loving you?

A part of me has gone with you,
To a place where all things disappear,
From where nothing comes back to you,
Even for all your tears,

I look around me,
And find what i dont see,
Your arms that welcomed me,
Are tonight not there,
I whisper a word to myself,
To hear your voice back,
But what comes back is just cold air

I dont have the strength to remain,
What you left of me,
Im weak inside, im falling slowly,
Come back to me,
I miss you so much dear.

Somethings come back in different meanings and relevance, but then again do we wait or go to that place where things do not come back from?
