His love is a curse
Depressed like a gray cloud
His love is a curse
And I can't seem to escape out
His love is entangled
Strangling my heart
His love is delusional
Tearing me apart
I have the power to set myself free
But his love is so enchanting
That I simply let it be.

Forgive me for being human
Forgive me for making mistakes
Forgive me for growing up
And doing whatever it takes
To learn about this world
And set my mind free
No one can be trapped like this
So please forgive me

Tried to focus
But you invaded my head
Memories flooding in my mind
So I wrote this poem instead
Because you are my love
And you deserve the best
Begging through forceful lunches and dinners
Longing for the back breaking beds
Sun pouring through dusty windows
Sneaking out when they never let
Elevated on high roof tops
You are more than what they said
Daily visits to the Lulu market
There wasn't a thing I didn't get
Warm nights at the Khalifa park
Watching the joyful kids scream
The illuminating soccer stadium
Glowing on the faces of a determined team
The sun blazing on my skin
The stray cats with pleading eyes
The dust dancing with the wind
Twisting and turning in the blue sky
Suitcases filled with memories
As I stepped onto the plane
Hoping for another visit
My precious Bahrain.

Sacrifices:
Letting go of something in a crisis
Giving us her everything no matter what the price is
And we demanded and we cried
And she gave and she tried
She carried us on her back
When the snow was four feet high
Ashes falling to the ground
Smoke intoxicating the sky
Like the last leaf of autumn
Her hope was still hanging on
While we dragged and crawled
Trying to barely move along
Hiding out the struggle of food, money, and shelter
Away from her beloved kids so we never had felt her
Agonized pain and destruction
Don't give up...
She whispered goodnight
Crying herself to sleep
Praying things will be alright
But you could still hear the sorrow
Seeping through the walls
It's the first thing we'll wake up to
If we even wake up at all.

The most beautiful thing is a mothers laughter
And the sparkle in her eyes
The most heartbreaking thing is
Seeing her tears roll down
As she silently cries

I know you’re busy
And I know you don’t have a lot of time
But I hope you take a few minutes of your life
To listen to this rhyme:

I was young and stupid and lost
But now I’m grown
And I know I gotta pay the cost
Gotta heal the scars
No matter the price
Slowly but surely
The light will shine on my heart
And melt away the ice
And I know I can’t do it alone
That’s why I need you by my side
Just like waves in the ocean
You’ll smooth out the sand with your tide
You are my doctor
You are my nurse
With your love and care
Lift away this curse
You are the moon
You are the sun
It took me a while to realize this
But now I know…
You are the one.

How do I know you’re the one?
How do I know there’s no one better?
How do I know I’m done?
Is there more to these four letters?
Do you really mean all the things you say?
Do I really cross your mind everyday?
How do I know you feel the same way?
When do I really find out?
Am I all you really think about?
Cuz I’m tired of trying
And I feel like you’re lying
Cuz it’s too good to be true
So please mean it when you say
“I love you too”.
