After You Left
Sadness suffocated me; relentessly
throwing me overboard
drowning me.
Like a withering tree, grasping for air, shrivelling, fading;
I lose vitality.
If happiness was reluctant: where would that leave me?
Such remorse.
Am I thinking lucidly and stably?
Do I know what I'm saying?
Am I exasperating?
I languish with anguish so deeply:
it's hard for me to tell if I'm
awake or dreaming.
Torment, dread and angst torture me beyond comprehension:
yet I'm all alone.
If each abundant drop were here:
I'd send you a downpour
just to say goodbye.
Tears sentimentally drown reality;
sobs don't exaggerate fear
of isolatoin.
poet : Fatima Abdul.
