Nightmares
I was walking towards that place..like I always do..
The leaves were falling..everywhere..it was beautiful..but it gave me no pleasure..I was distraught..inconsolable..my face devoid of any emotion..
I stood and then sat myself down..I was telling the stone with the epitaph..’ in life and death, he will always live’ (in arabic) stories..what happened since the last time I went and sat before him, and it had been a long time..so long..
The leaves were falling..like it was autumn..all yellow and brown..
And then, i flew away..
I flew to a hospital room, Room 3177.. I was sitting in that chair and i was whispering in his ear..
I dont know if he heard me.. and it is a question that I still wonder about to this day..but at that time, I didn’t care..
"I’m sorry…I’m sorry…I’m sorry…. and that went on and on until my voice was hoarse..
His chest stopped moving.. I tried to wake him up..but all was lost..it was too late..
As vivid as it was 7 years ago..gone but not forgotten
‘in life and death, he will always live’
And though when I wake up today, my emotions feel no grief.. the images stay..they are there..
They are there
