zainab khawaja Poems

My eyes are blinded,
By things only i can see,
They are deep inside me,
I deal with them each day,
...

Dark, its so dark,
Quiet, its so quiet,

Love, its weary,
...

Even then, when the darkness had fallen,
Resting upon the skies,
Spreading deep silence down there...that seeped,
Across everything,
...

I know nothing of your cries,
I know only of my tries,
To tell you That youre not alone,
That I am still by your side
...

Theres no point of loving someone so much,
You can hope to get some love back,
And keep hoping until all hope dies,
But the hopes you have can never die,
...

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

Tonight, the darkness is kissing my pain,
Holding me loosely,
Cradling my shame,
Soothing an ache stagnated in my heart,
...

The space once there in my heart,
Is now pierced by holes loving you has caused,
Day and night just thinking of you,
I never knew that this would come too,
...

Im sitting in my classroom today,
My friends are laughing,
But the sound of their laughter never reaches my ear,
I try hard to pull myself out from the lone corner in my own thoughts,
...

The night is achingly slow,
The violent wind rattles the doors and windows,
All eyes shut,
All minds at sleep,
...
