The sun cracks open the night,
With her rays of light,
Like a lightning bolt shot across
As my heart begins to cry.
The wind breathes softly through

My heart has lost her will to sing
As she feels the bite of love’s st
I miss your face,
And your voice that drips black la
I’ve lost the will to write,

As the sun rises to meet the day,
As the butterflies come out to pla
The world opens her eyes.
As another night dies,
I roll out of bed,

I am an endless well,
My anxiety brings me hell.
My tongue has a razor-edge,
And my hopes live on a ledge.
My compassion is cruel,

I was living a lucid dream,
I was coming apart at the seams.
I did what I could to control cha
Yet life was set to re-arrange.
I held fast to the world I knew,

These foolish eyes cry,
This foolish heart may die.
My dreams are but lies,
Of long lost ties.
Foolishness fills the space inside

When I sit down to spill out some
My heart flies as free as the bird
When I sit down and pour out my s
I fill the parts of me that are un
When I sit down and think of your

I sing a sad story,
Of loss and of glory.
I’ve been but a sparrow all my lif
Encumbered by great strife.
I’ve had dreams come true,

I am but a girl,
Afraid of the world.
I wear my heart,
On my sleeve torn apart.
I run with the wind,

My pen moves to spit out the poiso
Your empty thoughtless days.
Lips as dark as your heart,
A soul torn apart.
A mind writhing in pain,

When you left,
The charcoaled night opened up
And swallowed the last fiery slive
Then the darkness swallowed my pit
~c.l.l./Fatima Amal (2016)

Where have they gone,
Flown away in a song.
Have they blown away to the sea,
Some place my heart longs to be.
I used to hold them so dear,

I walk a lonely road,
I carry a burdened load.
Sin a plenty to fill my bag,
Up this mountain I lag.
No one to hear my heart,

When the pain in my heart has over
Lord please wipe away my tears so
When my burdens crush down upon th
Lord lift me up and set me apart.
My Savior, My Shield, My Hope,

Well she found that sweet spot,
Where her heart can pick the knot.
Words found a path back into her h
They were pleased to submit to her
Her view of her dreams is still co

It’s better this way...
There are no words I need to say.
I will say them to myself at night
As I look up at the moon’s crysta
It’s better this way,

I swing on the branches of hope...
That no matter what, the ground wi
It will not swallow me whole.
It may obtain pieces of me never t
But it will not swallow the light

You walk around on pink cotton clo
Cleverly hiding under multiple shr
A darkness lies in your heart,
Riddles and rhymes that can tear o
A kindness mocks from your lips,

Since you’ve left me all alone,
I have no sun to light my world.
No warmth with which to seek comfo
No lamp to guide my path.
You’ve taken all the stars with yo

He saw everything,
He saw nothing,
Because he shut that door to his e
He never looked back.
He watched her pack.

I know a girl colored red,
Fire woven throughout her head.
Rage built from sadness,
Loneliness leads to madness.
She treads softly still,

My brain is on fire, fire
Because you are a liar, liar.
You let me drown in the mire,
Pleading to the choir.
I stare higher, higher

I have a hope that will be fulfill
I have a wound that will be healed
I have a faith that is sealed.
I have the Grace of God to shield
For He is mighty in His way,

She smokes her cigarette at noon,
Her hopes tied to a freed balloon.
She thinks of what she has that is
And if it was worth the cost.
But she rages on...

I want to go somewhere...
I want to fly away.
Oh God, how I want to fly away fo
I want to go to a place where my s
Where my soul dances like leaves i

There once was a gypsy girl,
With eyes marked by the sea.
Fire burnt within her curl,
As her heart cries out..."Free!”
She danced to music no one heard,

What can I do...
To get away from you?
Where can I hide
From my heart’s pride?
She wants what she wants...

Once upon a time,
I gave you my heart.
Once upon a time,
You tore it apart.
I bared my soul to you,

I danced with a hawk today,
She showed me how to find my way.
She led me to my heart locked tigh
She made me blind to give me sight
I walked with her, heard her call

Her eyes burned open and numb,
Her compassion un-waivered and dum
Losing her mind into the sun,
Her colors run undone.
She’s lost herself again in the tr

Something beautiful in the air,
As out the window I stare.
A crooked beauty in the trees,
A whistling briskness in the breez
Hanging instruments dance a broken

I am broken, I am bound.
Put me back together, so I may be
O’ Lord, Please hear my plea.
Please shine down all your love an
I’m sorry I’ve lost my way,

I am broken, I am bound,
Yet I have hope to be found.
I search for Grace,
Let God pour His love upon my fac
I have been knocked down,

Sometimes I need to deafen myself
From the screaming... so loud.
To take cover from the tornado of
And selfish choices.
I walk outside looking in,

Let me drown out the world for a b

Let me tear down these walls from

I dreamt awake of a fate I knew n
One marked by God above.
I know not what it may mean,
Unspeakable deceit I have seen.
I lie asleep in a fog,
