Poems
by SalahDin A. Rezk

Cannot Blame

  • During night and day, I can’t forget your name,
  • Through roads, long and wide, memories haunt me.
  • I play songs, recite words, maybe then my soul will be freed,
  • Despite that, it is still chained by what’s been forged before.
  • Through future and past, regret now speaks my name,
  • Each step I take, a weight I cannot blame.
  • No wish remains to kindle former flame,
  • Just burdens wrought by words once left.
  • No matter what I do and do, I still lose you.
  • Didn’t I give you the sky’s stars and my heart?
  • Yet now each step I take is without you.
  • They lead me further and further, worlds apart.
