Mahmoud Elhadary Poem
Through a shivery night, everything had changed.
Our love – the kind of love everyone wishes for
had been burned – turned to ashes
it shatters me to see you going
it break me to be wandering around without you,
to be finally chasing my dreams.
We were wander-lusters with dreams of growing together.
Since the night you had left,
I been sitting in a corner that had never been touched by the sun.
You broke me more than you realize,
Even when you’re not here,
I’m still broken, irreparable.
You got me – the best part of me
the part that was full of hopes and fantasies.
You had torn me,
yet, I’m still surviving
yes, I’m still surviving.
Opportunities waiting for me to seize,
but I’m dreadful that the moment I grasp them,
they turn to dust.
You had made me fearful of living,
and with every day I became more terrified of stepping outside,
Into the world, Into Earth.
I’m sheltered in a room,
with walls made of glass.
I must stand and run,
breaking the shelter I had been captivated inside.
I must start now,
before it’s too late.
You’re finally gone,
and now I shall start living again,
one step at a time,
but I’ll start living.

Mahmoud Elhadary Poem
I will dance
To the eternity of life,
Till my chest can’t withstand.
I will dance
To all of the moments I regret,
Even when I’m out of breath.
Seeing you between the crowd;
Had made my heart sweat.
Come and join me,
Even if we’re not meant to be.
I demand.
Cause it maybe the only song you get,
And no more chances to miss.
It maybe the only time you get me
Without a fight.
I will dance
To the very last song,
Even after the lights turned on.
Searching for happy lyrics between all the misery that surrounds.
I will dance
Till I’m falling to your hands;
Letting you carry me away from all that mess.
I promise that I wont miss
Any of the memories I’m leaving behind.
I’ll be in amnesia;
Even when I’m not.
Words are not easy to say;
When all I want is to forget.
