She Don’t Live Here Anymore! Poem by Raouf Reda

Passing by her place
Just praying to see her face

I wasn’t willing to talk
Just check on her, then walk

Yes, I am cursed
My feelings are dispersed

I found her home collapsed
Couldn’t pray for her to relapsed

I saw an old man who told me
Are you fine, you look dizzy?

I replied, Yes do you have any cure?
He said “No she don’t live here anymore”

I walked away with a tear in my eye
Don’t know why I am still asking why?

That hope is gone.
The Vow is done.
