Umaizah Sep 2015
I knew I was in love when I could see you inside a kaleidoscope.
Safe and sound was how I felt around you.
I had never felt such ease to welcome the next day as I did when you woke me.
You were so tender with me.
Your caresses were so healing.
I never knew a person could make an entire city that I knew into something so magical.
I've been searching for you all my life.
I am so grateful that I once was able to sit across from you.
To have my eyes blessed to look into your beautiful eyes.
Eyes with such kindness and a hint of sadness.
I recognized myself in you.
I knew I was in love when I saw you inside a kaleidoscope.
Umaizah Sep 2015
I am so tired of feeling so empty and with no home.
I've had so much given to me yet I can't but help to feel empty.
My family has always been there for me yet as I sit with them I feel so alone.
I don't connect with anyone ever.  
As I have become older the realization of how lonely existence truly is has just magnified.
I was a fool in thinking I would one day fill this void inside me with a friend or love interest.
I once knew Allah and felt such completeness.
When will I return?
Maybe once this day comes to pass I will feel whole.
My home might just not be in this Dunya.

— The End —
