Killing Her Pain


In the valley of death she walked without a scarf 

In the neighboring cemetery , she met the demon of grief 

She begged for salvation with weeping eyes and without belief 

She yearned to vanish , the price was to sacrifice herself

She dug her grave , moments of agony are brief 

Her blood watered the soil after she stabbed herself with a knife


Within her soul , a million scars 

Inside her heart , a thousands aches 

In the East , her desires are burning 

In the West , her feelings are drowning 

For love , she cultivates roses 

In the garden of wilt , dry seasons


It was long nights full of thoughts and loneliness 

The hours passed in a heavy rythm of nothingness 

So many decisions in her mind , the choices in narrowness 

Nothing makes sense at all in her deadly quietness

She wished to kill her pain which makes her dance in weakness 

She slept for so long under the greyness

وردية العمل

  كأن الساعات تتضاعف و الضيق على صدري ينقبض أكثر فأكثر، و القلق يتشكل عرقا على جبيني، أحمِل  تراكمات الأيام و سخط الأمس معي، اترقب موعد حريت...
