- in the name of Allah -

Oh pain, don't leave me ever, stay within my thoughts, 
that I might taste forever, the price for her I should've fought. 

Oh pain, let me hear your echoes, drowning out the sorrow,
when life traps me within its throes, blinding me from tomorrow.

Oh pain, speak to me your timeless whisper, making warm
what once could only wither, though long since passed my dawn.

Oh pain, be for me ever bitter sweet, turning into limes
all life's lemons and seeds, to make an -ade at last worthwhile.

how many doors in life must I let close, before I recall the one I left shuttered whole? how many days must I live within this rain, falling freely without a care to give me weight and so a place to call home? let me be foolish, let me walk down memory lane, to not care for crossing signs, and as I get hit, so I remember to look both ways.
