i don't know how to feel
when im not in your presence..
when i can't hear your voice
or see your smile.
i don't know what to do with myself.

There is something amiss,
Even though it’s all fine.
An unknown perturbation
Occupying a corner of mind.
I don’t intend to,
But think I must do;
In such thoughts so lost
In this night of the noon.
There are a lot to speak with,
Only a few to talk;
And of them who do,
Hardly lead to some resolve.
With each new revelation,
Intricacy multiplies,
And it’s harder to tell
What on the next step lies.
I don’t know if I’m right
And doubt that I’m wrong.
Surely there’s a need
Of someone to stay along.

Don't know ...
I really ...
do not know ...
in which land ...
i am now ...
but ...
i certainty know ...
that ...
I'm in a country ...
other than that ...
i live in now ...
on a sea ...
which it has your perfume ...
i do smell it ...
from a far away ...
because ...
in that sea ...
you swam ...
and now ...
I'm diving in ...
Hazem..

What would I do,
What could I do,
For you?
Tell me please,
Tell me, tell me now,
How can I be good for you?
Getting pulled in,
Then you casting me out,
Got my voice singing,
Don't know what hit me,
But I'll be alright...

i don't know how to love you
or if i shouldn't even try.
i don't know how to pull you through
or watch you fall and cry.
i don't know if the world will end
or if i'll ride your throne.
i don't know how to play pretend
or turn you back from stone.
i don't know if you'll be my King
or if i'll fall away.
i don't know if i'll let you sing
or if you'll choose to stay.

Is it selfish to expect and want the same amount of love as you are giving?

Love handed to me on a silver platter
Indecision
Indecision
So much indecision
My head and my heart are plagued with internal tug of war
Feet slip
Face down in the mud
Love lingers like the smokey taste of last nights cigar
One never forgets the best

i wish they knew
me and only the real me
mot the me with friends
not the me with family
i wish they knew
how much pain they cause me
every comment and remark
a knife into the heart
i wish they knew
how I go to bed each night
crying and unable to sleep
but still pretending for their sake
i wish they knew
the number of thoughts
running around my head
killing me inside out
~
but they don't know
how much it hurts
what it feels like
and that’s the thing that hurts the most…

My points aren’t touching ground.
Plucked up by a spine
Holding my pages together
When the library is going up in smoke
Paper doesn’t need to breathe
It just needs to be the channel
The background of the universe
Bleeding itself into reality

I don't know what the right thing to do is,
So I guess I'm just trying all the wrong things first.

The sky turned navy, while
saltwater dreams threaded through shipwrecks on the sea floor
Darkness haunted the ruins like ink-stained ghosts
and you couldn't see the stars under the waves and the jellyfish and the rust
because we were all too scared to swim away from the
familiar, beautiful
nauseating darkness
Our footsteps were heavy, as if we
were weighted down by bricks
The ethereal electricity of the ocean's embrace
dragged wandering pieces of thought back into consciousness
as the fading stars left our veins flowing a
broken-watercolor-aquamarine
Dawn began to dust the clouds with her coral-rose blush
light rained down on fluttering eyelashes
so we became moths, flinging ourselves
onto street-lamps and into fires and through windows of hearts
The jellyfish drowned in its own phosphor and
up
we
fell

Blurred roaring sidewalks
bordered empty highways
and in the name of regret
I forgot that my mother told me to say
"I'm sorry"
instead of
"I hate you"
Didn't matter
you couldn't tell the difference
anyways
because it was too dark to see tears
Pooled up in the corner of my eyes
star-drops in a dim constellation
San Fransisco was foggy that day
with every breath the world ever took from my lungs
and you couldn't see through it
But god, was it
breathtaking, ha
Then they declared me a traffic hazard,
so we went on break for a day
I should've known that sailboats were prone to leaking
like hearts that someone went stabby-stabby at
We were soaked in the scent of rose thorns, and-The
Pandora's Box-we put our faith in something unknown
What were we thinking--
jumped off the side and expected to fly
There's a light at the end of the tunnel, they say
I'm lost
and
well
it's rather impossible to find the North Star when your sky is so caliginous

How long will your fire burn?
Before the flame dies out.
Will your passion stay alight?
When he casts your body aside.
Could you ever be so strong?
And keep your tears hidden.
Or will you always be afraid,
of a life that's not worth living?
