How Can I Forgive You?

mahmoud-elbouhaissi Poems

When I remember you, Hidden behind your glasses, Victimized by others’ glances, Disdained and neglected Cursed and rejected, I accuse myself. When I remember you, Frightened by your ex, Persecuted because of your *** Your genre and helpless will, Afraid of the next will, I disdain myself. When I remember you, Endowed by the Saint Hand, Buried in the Saint Land, Reminded by some, Forgotten by some I curse myself. When I remember you, Naked by my side Along the nights’ tide, Discovered by my hands, And reached to your ends, I long to myself. When I remember you, I call back the tears, I turn deaf my ears, I blow out my candle, To fro the scandal_ And I forget myself. When I remember you, I forget myself.
