Dhia Awanis
Her soul is tired now
and all she ever wanted to do was
calming her crowded mind
and resting her heavy heart

Her soul is tired now
and the only path she’d go through
was no longer runaway full of eyes
but an empty and quiet hallways

Her soul is tired now
and the dreams are no longer dreams,
they became possessions and hunger
that consumes her alive

Her soul is tired now
as the passion slowly fades away
and the flame in her eyes began to vanish
can’t you feel the absence of her warmth?

Maybe he left
because he got
tired of plucking
splinters out of
his fingers every
time he touched
me because of
the fence I built
around my heart.*

Promise me that you will build me
A sandcastle by the crashing blue
The way I promise you that I will
Kiss you amidst the clouds in the sky

Promise me that you will take me
To your parents' house on your birthday
The way I promise you that I will
Take you to my grandmother's grave

Promise me that you will keep your promises
Your fingers slowly undoing my mistakes
My prayers overcoming your false steps
This is my promise to you, I promise

Pieces

You never really lose people
parts of them always stay with you

And it's both beautiful and sad to think
that we are all composed of pieces
from the people who broke us

and by which we are complete

I WISH I KNEW HOW TO GET THROUGH TO YOU BUT IM FILLED WITH THE CRIPPLING FEAR THAT YOU DON'T FEEL THE SAME WAY I DO, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TALK TO YOU BUT ALL I KNOW IS THAT YOU'RE ON YOUR 10TH SHOT OF WHISKEY AND IM ON MY FOURTH JOINT AND NEITHER OF US IS OKAY

Ernest Hemingway
Never trust a white man,
Never **** a Jew,
Never sign a contract,
Never rent a pew.
Don't enlist in armies;
Nor marry many wives;
Never write for magazines;
Never scratch your hives.
Always put paper on the seat,
Don't believe in wars,
Keep yourself both clean and neat,
Never marry ******.
Never pay a blackmailer,
Never go to law,
Never trust a publisher,
Or you'll sleep on straw.
All your friends will leave you
All your friends will die
So lead a clean and wholesome life
And join them in the sky.

Be my comforter
Be my light
Guide me slowly
Hold me tight
I'm lost
I'm broken
I don't know what to do
Take my hand
Don't walk away
Lead me to something new
Open my eyes
Guide me when I'm lonely
I need you big sis
To show me the path when I'm lost and in pain
I don't know what to do
I'll say it again
Please I need you
Don't ever leave
I can't do this without you
You are my guiding light

I turn over all the stones
Some bad
Some good
I choose what is best
Some people I make happy
Some people I make angry
I love
I give my all
I live...

Charles Bukowski
don't undress my love
you might find a mannequin:
don't undress the mannequin
you might find
my love.
she's long ago
forgotten me.
she's trying on a new
hat
and looks more the
coquette
than ever.

she is a
child
and a mannequin
and death.
I can't hate
that.
she didn't do
anything
unusual.
I only wanted her
to.
