A Lost Love- Hamdha K

My eyes are devoid of tears

My throat dry as sand

Screaming your name

Hoping it'd bring you back.

I know it won't

No matter how much I beg

How much I cry.

You won't appear beside me

Won't hold me

Won't tell me it'll be okay,

Like you did whenever I felt like crying.

Now I cry myself to sleep

Bathe in my tears

And dress in my sweat,

Wishing to see your delicate face

To say that I'm here for you

To beg you to give life a chance.

But I know it's all

A dream long gone.

You are not here,

And never will be.

If I could see you one last time

I would ask - no, wail -

'Was I not enough

To make you stay?'
