Do you know me? I don't think so...

اَلسَّلَام عَلَيْكُم وَرَحْمَة اللهِ وَبَرَكَا تُهُ

I would write it down if I could.

But I cannot. For no words can capture what I mean to say.

And for that...

Those words remain on the verge of my lips.

And as long as doubt strangles me,

I stay on this path

of silence.

I would tell it if I could.

But I cannot. For no words can capture what I mean to say.

And for that...

These words get pushed further down.

And as long as fear has a hold on me,

I stay rooted

in space.

I would show if I could.

But I will not. For no actions can undo what I've done.

And for that...

You get half-a-broken-man.

And as long as I continue sinking,

I stay my hand

from swimming to the surface.

And let the depths wash over me,

so no one can see the tears,

as I fall back

to the bottom.
