Did you know?
Fahad AlDaajani
You scattered all my cards
Every night I spruce them so you wake to the sweetest words
You scattered all my cards
But in your eyes my passion and in your lips my drowning
You scattered everything
Now nothing can help me flee the fire you set on me
The fire! What do you know about my fire? Your fire
The fire of your longing that warmed me
The fire that without it I’d lose my way
The fire that boils and eats me
Nothing can stay on fire for long, and I have waited so long
Love, when I loved you I didn’t know what could go wrong
Did you know? Did you know your silence is the dryness of my veins?
Have you heard? Have you heard that your absences are the greatest pains?
And that every goodbye is a shrinkage in my chest
I beg you love,
Don’t let me die slowly
Come back to me
Give me a hug and heal my wounds
Give me your kiss .. The kiss that is always another reborn
