Desire is a candle trick
Burning brightly in a room
Full of wicks

Between regret and satisfaction
The silking rope hangs
Just beyond the hand's reach
At the peak of jealousy

It wraps tightly around
One's neck like the slithering snake
slowly, surely suffocating
Like a never-ending nightmare

Forever wanting more
Never inching close enough
Desire is a waterlogged hole
Waiting to drain your blood
Loneliness
Could lead me to the darkest places
A hall of memories
Hiding obscure blurry faces

When I search inside myself
There's a quiet emptiness
Still as the lonesome midnight

There's always regret
In Letting go
Not ever how I wanted
This to go

In another life
We can see eye to eye
Tomorrow is another day
Promise, we'll be fine

In an hour
You made my entire day
The things you say
The silk of your hair
When you lay next to me
I wish you could stay
Samir Mohammed Oct 2023
Under azure skies
To places we used to go
Resting under sunlight
Just hides in my mind

In fields of green
I held you tight
I'd never felt so much joy
In my entire life

It hurt so much
In one word
Just to say goodbye
Samir Mohammed Aug 2023
The weight of the world
Sits on my chest
Suffocating my dreams
Making it hard to breathe

The pain of my heart
Aches from within
Paralyzing my limbs
With this lovesick disease
Samir Mohammed Aug 2023
We built a wall of memories
Perfect picture painted symphonies
A tapestry of two written in the melody
That seemed to sing softly in my ears

In the cold world
You made a refuge in the dark
I could stay awake just to feel you breathe
To hear that comforting tune you play

You let me hear
The beauty in the harmony
Then sung sweet promises
That made me believe, in destiny

Now all that's left is woeful silence
The beautiful song that my heart chased
Just seemed to fade away
Gone into the midnight like a castaway

When you left me in the darkness
I didn't have the words to say
Nor did I have the things to feel

Now I hear sirens sing for me
A cold hollow call
Discordant in their misery
When you left me underneath
Samir Mohammed Oct 2022
Sometimes I feel
Like the rain
Cries for me

These bottled-up emotions
I hold onto underneath
Leave me hurting
And empty

But then it rains
and it feel like something
knows my pain
And I don't worry

Thank you
