Whispers Between the lines

If I could walk through time again, A ghost upon a different stage, I'd see the faces then and when, And skip the next, blank, unseen page. I'd pass the stranger on the street, And turn away from every door, Lest their hello become defeat, And leave me wanting something more. For in their eyes, a future sleeps, A coming hurt, a heavy cost, A vow that's made, a wound that deeps, A love that's found and then is lost. So I'd retreat from every face, From every hand that reaches out, To keep my heart in its safe place, And quiet every lonely doubt. To stand alone, a hollow form, Untouched by joy or bitter strife, And build a shelter from the storm, By never truly living life... Nidal Sati

 It’s time to move on, Leave the past behind, Old love is fading, New horizons to find. New journeys to start, New love awaits, Though my heart is broken, Hope never hesitates... This pain will fade, Just a shadow in time, A chapter closed, A brighter climb.. Nidal Sati

 Longing for you arrives   Uninvited,   Without reason,   Without mercy.   Memories bloom like wildflowers   Your face,   Your voice,   The echoes Of where we once sat.   My soul drifts   To every place  Your presence touched. Nidal Sati

 Far beyond love or hate,   beyond all feelings and reason,   you’ve become a rhythm in my days  Beyond pride, beyond logic,   you’ve taken root in my heart Not through causes, nor circumstances,   but through the quiet way you echo   in my best poems Beyond minutes, hours,   days, months, or years you are woven into my life.   And I miss you in every way   a soul can miss another Nothing feels quite the same   in the vast silence   your absence leaves behind.. Nidal Sati

 If I could love you   Without falling to pieces,   I would have stayed.   I would have whispered your name   Into the quiet of every night   And kissed your sadness   Until it forgot how to stay. But love The kind I felt for you Wasn't soft.   It burned in my chest,   Clawed at my sleep,   And left me wondering   If I was loving you   Or slowly losing myself. I gave too much   Hoping you’d give just enough.   I held my breath   While you measured your silences.   I stayed still   While your moods moved like storms. I wanted to be your peace But I became your pause,   Your maybe,   Your “not now.” So I left,   Not because I stopped loving you But because I had to love myself   Before I disappeared completely. If I could love you   Without breaking,   You’d still be ...
