If I could reach you
I would say
I
Believe
In you.

Its the last address
Of this life of

disappointment

They will never know.

I believe in you.

Grind my tears in the
bowls
Otherwise
So

Closed

On saving me

I am now
Utterly destroyed.

I am in the minutes
Of the

Rest

Of my life

Alone and
Shattered.

Saved from their
determination

what waits
is my future.

Now, Happen

Soon.

You are far away
but I hear you mostly
at night

your voice tempering
the howling wind the
raging storm

In Eid, we feed.
We eat all we need.
Lawfully and indeed.

battles come and go
you get wise through losing many

but each time is leading you somewhere
that 'somewhere'the being you 'now'

a little battered
but not 'dead yet '.

We talk about the
past like it's a
movie we
watched together.
You liked the
cinematography.
I didn't care for the
cruelty of the
protagonist.

We disagree on the
theme, and every
scene holds different
aspects of
symbolism for us.
I'm not sure I want
there to be a sequel,
despite the good
acting.
