Mellifluous Murmurs

Sweet Talk // إلى أمي

Every lonely night, 

I dream of the distance that separates us;

I imagine the days it would take me

To be where you are.

Sweet friend,

I hadn't the chance to listen 

to the sound of

 your mumbling lips

brushing my ear, 

bidding me farewell every night.

The sound of your serene voice still echoes deep within my thoughts.

I long for you daily

I long for you nightly–

I want you here

with me

In my life.

Unfortunate to say,

You aren't here to witness my growth

Or my life overcoming success.

You vanish almost every single day,

And I break a little more inside by the second.

You hollow into my dreams so ghastly,

I love it because it is you

And I fear none because it is you.

I miss your sweet talk

Your beautiful face,

Your uplifting words.

I miss you,

And I don't know how to say it otherwsie.

I miss you,

even though I am not your first thought every morning and every night–

I still think of you, 

dear mother.

I miss you everyday. 

You're my nightmare,

my dream,

my reality–

You're the center 

of my big picture.

I wish you were here. 

I wish you could be able to hear me.

I wish you would be able to feel the dampness of my pillow at night.

But now it's time for me to go again, 

goodbye my long lost friend–

that's what I would've said yesterday,

but reality starts now.

My life with you ended yesterday,

but your sweet talk makes me fall in love

with my mother's voice

all over again;

because I built a new eternity with you.
