Words I'll Never Say

{48} Nour Nawar

"I tried to hide you somewhere in the corner of my eyes, but you escaped through the tears I've been tirelessly shedding, like you always do.

I tried to hide you somewhere deep in the palm of my hands, in the twist of my hair, somewhere between my fingers, behind my ears, all down my spine; but you were there.

And I tried to hide you somewhere by the edge of my lips, only to find myself mumbling your name to strangers.

I wore your colors, I spelled your rhymes
I kept your flowers, blooming through all times
I sang your song, like a fool in my car
Hoping it would heal, each and every scar.

But it ruined me, darling
Can't you see?"
