we were only kids
and you were not that old
I remember how we split
I remember how fast you drove
in the backseat I remember looking back
fucker looked like a ghost

I’ll always feel the pain
you then endured

for you
mine must ve been a long childhood
you tried so hard
not to share with me your sorrows

but I’d heard you cry
a long long time ago

please don’t ever feel bad
because you gave me a better childhood
than without you I ever would have had

you never said he was no good
and you tried to keep me sane
but I remember that afternoon in the garden
when in his white clothes his eyes
they looked insane

there are times when I wish
I’d killed him

but seeing you today
only makes me want
to forgive him

your radiant smile
and your beautiful style
makes me want even
to remember him

how he’d play his guitar
and how heartily he’d sing

I have his blood
and I have felt shame
but I’ve committed sins
and they’re not his

growing up
I’ve seen you quietly pray
mother I hope I learn
one day to pray
for him
for I have his blood
and I no longer wish to feel shame

and if I were to die today
that might be
one of my greatest sins


I’m glad you called this morning
mashallah you’re always happy
you always make me laugh
and that’s all I needed
other than my morning coffee

It’s your birthday soon
I’m not with you
but I know you're cool
and I’m thinking of you

happy birthday
