Water

Water

A Poem by Abdul Batin Osman Bey
"

I tried to put myself in the shoes of a woman who has a cheating husband.

"

I don’t know why we’re together

Dancing on a pin and a feather

In circles we spin

Turn me off I’m on again

 

You’re as unfaithful as a fly

Slapping s**t on your face oh my

Yet my heart belongs to you

Crucify me it’s the least you can do

 

A dove may spin a web

Weaving itself into solar dust

Place me under the shroud

Allow me to escape into a cloud

 

You never understood the last door

Open it you’ll find nine more

The nails you placed through my skin

Slowly gently I’ll loosen them

 

So go turn away from me

Pollinate every flower you see

I’ll be waiting on the northern star

We can be one if you dare to travel this far

 

Crucify me it’s the least you can do

My heart belongs to you

Lyrical write , love these lines particularly ...You never understood the last door

Open it you’ll find nine more
The nails you placed through my skin
Slowly gently I’ll loosen them

I liked how you tired to put yourself in her shoes, and show her pain but devotion him even in his unfaithfulness.

Another powerful and emotional piece, maybe my favourite of your recent pieces. Great work.
