silent star

How painful it is for a person to feel like a stranger in their own life, merely passing through their days, unable to find a place where they can rest from the weariness of the road. And how deep the heartache becomes when one grows so accustomed to pain that it turns into a part of their daily existence. Then one realizes that some battles are not fought to be won, but simply to endure, and that some souls are worn down by life until they almost forget what happiness feels like.

فإن سألوني يومًا عن معنى الحبِّ، سأذكرُ اسمَكَ وإن سألوني عن أجملِ ما رأتْ عينايَ، سأذكرُ وجهَكَ، وإن سألوني عمّا أتمنّاهُ من العمرِ، سأقولُ: أن أبقى بقربِكَ ما بقيَ في القلبِ نبضٌ، وما بقيَ في الروحِ شوق.

كأن قلبي خُلق ليبحث عنك، وكل الطرق في صدري تنتهي إليك، أشتاقك حدّ أنفاسي، كأن غيابك فراغ لا يُملأ، وكأن حضورك وطنٌ يهدأ فيه كل شيء. يدك حين تلامس يدي، أشعر أن العالم يصمت، وأن قلبي أخيرًا وجد ما كان ينقصه.

I love you in a way nothing else compares to—a love that goes beyond words and settles deep within me, as if you were created just to live in my heart. When I see you, the whole world feels calm, like all the chaos around me fades away and only you remain… my peace and my safety. You are not just a person in my life; you are life itself.

I am a woman I never believed in love And I never saw men as anything but a waste of time But you shattered all my beliefs And everything I believed in That you were not just a man But a homeland that embraced me in its arms And a soul that carried me with it

I am tired… tired of trying to understand, of pretending to be strong, of carrying things that are far beyond my capacity. I do not ask for much from this life, just a moment of quiet where I don’t feel like I’m about to break, just a simple feeling that I am not alone in this confusion.

I see you with the eye of my heart as paradise, O you by whose presence life becomes sweet. I see life without your presence as bitter, and I see my wounds as having no cure. I see sunset as a joy when we meet, and I see sunrise as sunset when we part.
