Jia Tariq Poet Lyric

If I Long For You More Than Death

winds of separation you blew towards me when you set the boundaries of longing. 
it was you who overfilled the bowl I held out
then whilst spilling the wine, you laughed.
how did you, then, walk away?
stumbling and staggering, I tried following you
but your intoxication overpowered me.
you create the longing
yet you ask why.
why?
I wish I knew too.
keep me or don't.
ill be lower than your other lovers.
because I cannot fulfil your standard. My incompetence is my death,
the grave I shall lay in.
I am not worthy of even a drop of your love
yet I asked for a shower.
like a fool meeting a fool, I met myself.
and like death after death, I lived for the sake of seeing you.
I lived for the sake of hearing you.
if I had met myself earlier,
I would've blinded myself 
because I shouldn't look at you with my unworthy eyes. eyes
that can't love you properly; eyes that cant trust you fully.
because you are a shapeshifter who shows me different shades of one colour.
master of change.
