watch me

By Mabtaab Shabzad
April-Sept. 1999
Lemar-Aftaab

watch me in the dark
naked below the moon
screaming my pain
yelling your name

holding your shadow
going insane
feeling your touch
playing your game

watch me in the dark
above the sand
sinking my fingers
inside the land

whimpering like a baby
thinking I'm crazy
holding your life
blood boiling with strife

watch me in the dark
walking away
from life and love
going towards day

day never comes
alone I stay
sitting like a crow
nothing the same

watch me in the dark
so cold and alone
shivering from fear
want to go home

home, I never find
you, I leave behind
fear, I can't deny
I just don't survive
