Heal

Published in the book of "Jordan Poetry : The Departure" The winning poem of Jordan Poetry contest Published in OC :On Campus Magazine

 

 

Pieces of your heart you are not ready to give

Though your mistake I do forgive

 

I try and try your heart to heal

And you run away, how am I supposed to feel

 

I tell you the truth and you tell half a lie

How come when I arrive you say goodbye

 

What more can I do what more can I serve

Yours I can be but I'm not a slave

 

I show the world my pain and never show you

What if I gave you my words , what would you do

 

Yes I give you my life , but why my life do you steal

I bleed upon your wounds may all your wounds then heal

 

You knocked my door I opened my gate

Drank your poison and your hate I ate

 

I understand you need time to get well and become fine

But now your free and weak to stand , I'm afraid you wont be mine

 

I can't tell you that I love you but I can show it by deed

Harder I try to stay around , as I'm the one you need

 

In my dreams I always see you and that's the only reason that I sleep

Asleep forever I wish to be , but real you then I wont keep

 

So I knock your door as hard as I can

Bleeds the door , bleeds the man

 

Full heart I do deserve but for a full heart I don’t ask

You can see behind my face you can see through my mask

 

That a heart that is broken I want to cure

As my love is eternal and my heart is pure

 

I can't walk you the road but I can draw a line

I gather pieces of your heart to un break the heart of mine

Stunning work M. Kilani. Heart felt, emotional, and real. Reminds me of wanting to go to sleep to meet her in my own dreams. This is very good.

I know that this piece is most likely about a lover, but it reminds me so much of the relationship between me and my mother, the back and forth thoughts and emotions and everything, it reminds me of the way I feel when she is normal and then Manic. Thank you for sharing, hope things get better soon, dear.
