You were supposed to be the first male love of my life,
Now you are the first male to make all of my hopes in love shrink.
When I look around ;
I am forced to imagine little pieces of you every where
Unwillingly blaming the entire species for all the things you did;
all the nightmares I dream.
You were supposed to show me
the exquisite beauty in the world,
Yet, I can see nothing but
my mother silently grieve.
You are the reason, why I fear
to talk about love, without hurting, dripping blood and forgetting how to speak.
You've left behind,
dreading pieces of yours,
the same wilting fingers we share,
the heart of steel in me.
You named me as your exhibiting pride,
Your pride is the last thing I'll ever wish to be.

(Never)your's truly,
Zainab✍️
