How long
can I lament
with this depressed
heart and soul
How long
can I remain
a sad autumn
ever since my grief
has shed my leaves
The entire space
of my soul
is burning in agony
How long can I hide
the flames
wanting to rise
out of this fire
How long can one suffer
the pain of hatred
of another human
a friend behaving like an enemy
With a broken heart
how much more
can I take
the message from body to soul
I believe in love
I swear by love
Believe me my love
How long
like a prisoner in grief
can I beg for mercy
You know I am not
a piece of rock or steel
but hearing my story
even water will become
as tense as stone
If I can only recount
the story of my life
right from my body
flame will grow
- Rumi
Tomorrow, five months will have passed. While this has hurt me deeply like no other, it is only so when I think about it- which is becoming less and less as time goes by. I am afraid of this actually. I do not want you to become a shell of what was to a shell that is.
