Nuha

I made all the same mistakes they told me I'd make. And now it's different everyday. They make me. They break me.

[nuhia]

This is one of those days when I want to disappear

[nuhia]

Is all forgiven or forever stored In each lie we tell And in each silence that we choose not to fill Truth is a part of me died When you said "I don't really want to be alive" Time stood still And it hasn't really moved since

As the torrents bend the tired pines I cave in to what I can't make right My shield, my shroud Does it clear or does it cloud? My thread, my way out My only hope and all my doubt My breaker, my keeper My breaker, my keeper Your sorrow, your martyrdom Lord knows I harbour some of the same darkness in my mind Now the spaces seem to grow between the light Frightened, fearful words, all that you swear You believe, you didn't deserve all you decry Well it's all been burned so deep inside my mind

I was a shoe horn, I was a crowbar I was your Ohio Blue Tip I was your old man, I was a best friend I was there and that is all

Yet I know, if I stepped aside Released the controls, you would open my eyes That somehow, all of this mess Is just my attempt to know the worth of my life

[nuhia]

وَإِنّي لَأَنوي هَجرُهُ فَيَرُدُّني هَوىً بَينَ أَثناءِ الضُلوعِ دَفينُ فَيَغلُظُ قَلبي ساعَةً ثُمَّ أَنثَني وَأَقسو عَلَيهِ تارَةً وَأَلينُ

[nuhia]

يا كوكباً قد غابَ عنا أولاً وَيلاهُ هل يُرجىَ طُلوعُكَ ثانيا أهوَى لوَجِهكَ كلَّ نجمٍ طالعٍ ويبيتُ طَرْفي للكواكبِ راعيا

ما لَذَّ لي قُربُ أُنسٍ أَنتِ نازِحَةٌ عَنهُ وَلا ساغَ عَيشٌ لَستِ فيهِ مَعي

What is love but a constant lesson I am tired of learning so I say it will all get better but inside I don’t know it

[nuhia]

إنّي أراكِ كسائحٍ في القفرِ ضلّ عن الطّريقْ يرجو صديقاً في الفـلاة، وأين في القفرِ الصديقْ يهوى البروقَ وضوءها، و يخافُ تخدعهُ البروقْ بل أنتِ أعظمُ حيرةٍ من فارسٍ تحت القتامْ لا يستطيعُ الانتصارْ و لا يُطيقُ الانكسارْ

العفو ينتج من التشبع الكامل بفكرة أننا لسنا مثاليين، متقلبو المزاج، يصعب العيش معنا أحياناً، يعترينا الخلل كغيرنا. وفقط حين نعذر نقصنا، سنعذر الآخرين
