That's When I Hate Poetry Poem by Alaa ...

that's when i hate poetry...
when i have to leave someone
and i don't want to say goodbye
when i see pure love
that almost makes me cry
when i have the word
but i can't write it down
and when i have to lie
and in my sadness i drown
when someone loves madly
and i can't give back
when i have to be honest
when am lost in a forest
and i lose my track
when i can't find love
with all the hearts i have
when i see a dove
calling and saying hi
when i don't know how to say
that i wish to die
when i meet someone again
i almost forgot
when we think about each other
at the same second and minute
when i remember my childhood
when i get bad and wicked
when i hate a dream
for dreaming it so long
when i can't stop
hearing a touching song
when i see a baby
or a cute little puppy
when i see the river
colored in grey
when i can't hear the music
when i don't pray
when i don't want to go
and yet i can't stay
that's when i hate poetry
when all that happens
but the world is going on
feeling good and bad at one time
and when spring leaves have died
coz i always have the thought
but my heart is paralyzed
