They left

A Poem by Yasmin

This is something I wrote for my brother and sister (the greatest brother and sister in the whole world) who went to Egypt to study I was destroyed when I wrote it so don't be surprised

It`s hard to wave good-bye to them
It gets harder every day
When every wall speaks of their actions
And every noise reminds of her and him
How did the house of eight members, six children did become so quite?
How could it live again? When the house that doesn`t sleep had lost his spirit and every minute in it became so dim
Every step we took towards life we took together inch by inch now the most important step of all has lost it`s way
Every song we used to sing became another tear in the eye
Tears no longer matter memories are nothing but dust to shatter
Now life has lost it`s flavor
Everyday the hole inside me gets bigger with every breath I take
They are the sound that calms me down at night
They are the air I breathe in and out
They are water can’t live without
They are my life as it no longer exists
They are the melody of my music
They are the medicine that cures my sickness
They are my world I’m ready to share
Another chapter I must close
They are the only people who`ll be there
When the pages of my life end
Words won`t explain how much I love them
Tears won`t show how much I miss them
May God protect them where ever they go
May God help them whenever they need help
May God always and forever bless them
As they are my everything
