Stay With Me Poem by Afnan Elmhlawy

You woke up last time screaming
Was it a nightmare
No
But everything was pitch dark
But when i opened my eyes
You were there
For me
How long do you intend to be there
For hor much you want me to be here

Please don't say any more
I give you nothing in return
You say you give me nothing in return
You are wrong
Only being here has nothing to be compared

How do you want us to go on
To be honest with ourselves
To admit that we are really tired
To say that life wasn't easy for our hearts
But afterall to believe
No matter how dark the night is
Tomorrow
There is a new sunrise again

Do you want to live here
It doesn't matter where
What matters is how we feel
How we deal with life
Remember that life is a ship
With so many sails
So many directions
So many lives
Some remain and some go
Some are bad
And some too good to remain

My dear
Again i will ask you
Will you stay near
But on one condition
However miserable i am
Would you hold my hand
Would you keep me in your heart
When every thing goes wrong
When every one goes away

I will never swear
I will never promise
But as long as we are alive
Our hearts are one
In a warm abode we will live on
