tick
tick
tock
time is almost up
crying is for fools
only gods are spared

there is a coldness
on the summer wind

a sad
loneliness

of a bygone
spring

i remember
the first time
you fell asleep
in my arms
head on chest
you drooled
that is when
i knew
you loved
me

Henni
Henni
i shout
scream
with all my heart
to Allah and Yahweh
why
do you love me

what do you think about
laying in bed
under the covers
in the dark
lonely and scared
craving comfort

do your thoughts run wild
spin out of control
sink deeper
into the abyss

do you cry
overcome with shame
living in desolation
a child
alone
parent less

how do you fill the void
the emptiness
bitter cold
endless hurt

needing a respite
break
fix
of anything

wishing
praying
to be held
in Morpheus’
embrace

i miss my home
family
all lost to time
nothing left
except memories

a midnight kiss
from a boy
to a girl
tender sighs
under a starry sky
