Dry Tears.

Subdued dreams in my eyes 

Essence they’ve yet to find, 

Sweet flames of bitter desire, 

What fire burns in my chest? 

Lonely are these nights, 

How do I sleep them? 

I can’t write any longer, 

Dry tears spill on my cheek. 

You may be far but close, 

The reason my heart beats 

It feels you are missing, 

And I drown in these memories. 

Find me a reason to live, 

Tell me how I can forget 

To take a breath when 

I’m not thinking of you. 

Save me before I die, 

Loneliness is a habit now, 

Your voice I hear at night 

Myself I’ve begun to lose. 

Oh, I beg for help 

Soaked in my own tears, 

Dry tears I blink in my eyes, 

Haven’t I cried enough, God?

-Sheikha.
