In the depths of my existence, I once dwelled.
A flickering flame, a story untold.Extinguished and lost, I roamed in despair.
Until I saw you, and suddenly, life became fair.You gave me a reason to live. to thrive.
More than biological animated, you made me
feel alive.Each day I'd arrive at the university's gate.
My tears streaming down, a heavy weight.But in the bathroom's refuge, I'd wipe them away.
Tidying myself up, preparing for the day.I adorned my face with makeup's gentle touch.
Hoping you'd see beauty, hoping it meant much.You weren't suitable according to my list
you didn't fit the bill
Your qualities didn't align. you didn't stand still.But somehow, you drew me in with a power so strong
It wasn't black magic or spells cast in the night.
But something deeper, something pure and bright.In your presence, my heart danced with delight.
As if guided by stars on a moonlit night.For it is through your love that I have come alive.
A phoenix rising from ashes, ready to thrive.
You are my muse, my inspiration divine,
Forever entwined in this poetic rhyme.In the realm of sorrow, your enchantment.
Has transformed into a curse, a torment .Unaware of my emotions, you remained
Each time you turned away, my heart painedDesperate for your attention I tried in vain.
But you paid no heed causing inner strain.Your indifference cut me deep, like a knife.
Leaving me even more isolated in life .Once alone, now consumed by loneliness.
Until fate intervened with absurd finesse .A chance encounter brought us together.
And we engaged in conversation, however .I uttered just one word, met with silence.
A trivial moment, yet it broke the fence .Suddenly aware of my existence near.
The long-awaited vacation drew near .But sadness filled my heart instead of glee
For it meant being apart from you.
I waited impatiently for you the day before.
But you did not come, which disappointed me to the core.I had that holiday that I had been hoping for
As if I were imprisoned in the abyss, longing for more.In fear of your judgment, I pen this verse,
As a girl, my dignity restrains my words,Yet my untamed emotions refuse to be quelled,
Confined for months.
And it is feat in itself.So yes, you ought to be aware,
I am enamored with you, beyond compare.But my true identity shall remain concealed,
To you to know, it is not revealed.Soha Seraj
