How could I

poem by: Taha Hassan
Written on Oct 25, 2017

How could I think
that I'd be loved?
How could I think
that I'd be heard?
How could I think
that i couldn't see
any darkness within
my heart of misery?

The longing for a heart
eats me inside.
The breaking apart
kills me inside.
for it was, none other
than my own fault.
for it was, none other
than my own fault.

-By Taha

Much loved, Cecilia. I was hoping someone would say that. I only write to my heart. Sadly there isn't much in it as of now so I'm a bit short on inspiration. Thank you very much.

Ugh, I felt this way today. Longing to be loved, and at the same time blaming myself for pushing love away. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I hope Love Finds You Too!.
