By Ahmad Al-khatat
What’s inside my heart
is unraveled sorrows
between regrets
leaves from the trees of my honesty
to the people I love the most
What’s inside my heart
are arteries living on my ache’s
bad habits that could be a cure
with eyes weeping every day
I have no choice to stay healthy
What’s inside my heart
is dead love birds in cages and
drowned sailors in an unsinkable boat
which explains why I wear glasses
to enjoy my life in the colour of the clouds
What’s inside my heart
is a miserable river that floods in
my burning dreams in my hopeless
life meanwhile, the other side is still a
rock, paper, scissors memory
