My Heart is a Cemetery... A place where thousands of my Desires are Buried, and a burial ground of the Deaths inside me that are still Alive

I often keep Ice on my palms, to see how much I can endure the Calm which turns into Chaos, Just like I shelter my Anger and my Grief to feel how much I can bare the flames of my own destruction

You see, We usually remember the the dates of those beautiful moments we spent with our loved ones, But not the date of the time when someone leaves, You try to recall the last time you looked in their eyes, but that too is a blurred vision, Its not because you never loved them... Its because you had no idea that it would be your Last

Mostly last chances don't come informing you that it's your last, you get to know it after it's gone forever.

I remember, and remembering is like an open wound.

May you have at least one person who will love you when you are not so lovable. When you're anxious and nervous. When you mistreat others. When you no longer crack jokes and have no more stories to tell.

-Shorouk Mostafa Ibrahim

I'd cut my soul into a million different pieces just to form a constellation to light your way home. I'd write love poems to the parts of yourself you can't stand. I'd stand in the shadows of your heart and tell you I'm not afraid of your dark.

Growing apart doesn't change the fact that for a long time we grew side by side; our roots will always be tangled. I'm glad for that.

...I write 'I am an ocean' I mean (I cradle dead things)(I am a soundless grief) (I am always reaching for shore; always trying to escape my body) (I am in between land; in between homes) (I have no land to call home) (I am too busy being the God of my own grief; too busy keeping everything else alive)...
