Ali Al-Najjar - I Fear When I Leave You

Poetry By: Anesa Al-Najjar

I Won't Get to See You...

I fear when I leave you
I wont get to see you
If you don't arrive soon
I'll assume your status...

My journey is too long
And fear when I come back, I wont get to see you

* * *

Oh abbas your sister I am, so don't leave me

You were always there to wake up first to greet me

Your absence kills me and your presence livens me

Thinking of you leaving us already hurts me

I wish death took over and relieves my sorrow

If I forget you may I not see tomorrow

I fear if I confess
And deeply injure you
All I want is for my
Tears to cool your feelings

My tears streaming goodbye
But fear when I come back, I won't get to see you

* * *

I wave goodbye to father's son then head towards home

And leave you a moon ignored till you rise alone

Just like your wounds were left open so was my soul

These words are now spoken with my tears uncontrolled

If I return oh brother what do you expect

If I return to see you then they'll disprespect

They told me to leave you
The one that protects me
I replied to back off
They don't know your value

Separation has fell
And fear when I come back, I won't get to see you

* * *

I scream but what benefits dead ones the screamer

I became silent with my soul the complainer

I am forced to leave you here none to deliver

Without saying farewells and left by the river

Negotiation is out of the picture now

They left you thirsty and burning on the sand how

Now they are regretting
The ones that denied you
The ones that butchered you
I really don't think so

My arms longing for you
And fear when I return, I wont get to see you
