Eros

الويل لي من فجر يومٍ ليتني ما عشتُ بعده

A kiss is the first act of cannibalism 

I'll break your bones with all the love I carry

Aphrodite, can you guide me? Tell me what she wants to hear. 
            Can you help me? Cast your spell, please. Strike her with love so severe.
            Show her my love is sincere.

Aphrodite, hear my plea
            Were you as lonely as me?
            Did it make you feel more free?
            Do they want me for my body?

What gives you the right to deal a pain so deep?

Deep down,
            You hide a reason for shame..

There will come a poet whose weapon is his word
            He will slay you with his tongue

صعب اننا نتقبل الحُب لو مقتنعين اننا مش بنستاهله 

أعطني الناي وغنِّ وانْسَ داءً ودواء
            إنّما الناس سطورٌ كُتبت لكن بماء

All I ever wanted was to be loved.

I'm a failure. I'm not pretty or naturally pleasant, or friendly. I'm not smart, or funny, or confident. I'm exactly what Mama said I was, weak.

I hate feeling like this. So pathetic. Do people like you ever feel this way? I figure you don't. You seem so perfect all the time. Lord must've been generous to you. He never answers any of my prayers. I don't know why. What did I do? What is wrong with me?

Love was the law, and religion was taught 

When someone asks what I saw in him but I saw myself 

You were always a violent creature, but I never blamed you for that. I mean.. look at the way you were raised no one would be normal after that

ذبلت أنوار الشوارع وانطفى ضي الحروف
            يالله ياقلبي سرينا ضاقت الدنيا علينا

I am forever chained to myself; and that's what I am, and that's what I must try to live with

Perhaps it isn't love when I say you are what I love the most - you are the knife I turn inside myself, this is love. This, my dear, is love

 As you know, I was hurt. But then I realised, that's just how you are. You know, and maybe I just need to stop expecting you to be a good person, so that way I won't get hurt when you're not.

I wasted like half of my summer tryna hold on your hand 

I wanted to vanish so completely that even I would not remember me

It's not that I wanted to keep you all to myself, nana. I just wanted you to need me.

When you realize you're not betting on losing dogs.. you're the losing dog 

 Father. I would have butcher the whole world... if you would only love me!
