Description

unwritten

Zaïnab El Meziani

Edited by Nabiha Qureshi

my words i speak them
and sing all of me
i breathe them
with suffocating lungs
i stand in the middle of nowhere
and write them
i then break them and hide them
under a sad sunset
and all of the sepultures
could never paint my agony

when i bury my soul
in the fearful woods
i become the child of
rhymes that have never been
i am now death
behind the eyes of pain
i dance alone in the darkness
of silent nights
feeling the truths of
my prosaic drawings
tasting the bitterness of
this void once so sweet

silence, speak
speak for my blood is cold
speak for my heart is a lie
and my lungs are smoke
and i cannot leave my words
to the sun
i need to see feathers
writing my songs
i need to feel your sight
i need to be
