“I write only...

To rid myself of what has clung to my heart.
I don’t want it, even if it holds my salvation.
I seek innocence from every pain it left behind,
And to rise above their abandonment when I needed them most.
I long to erase them from my memory, as if they never were,

To empty this sorrow that has settled in my chest,
Then walk away… without turning back.

But deep within me,
What I fear most of all...
Is that I may never stop writing.”
― Khaled Ibrahim

And yet, all of that was not enough.

You were the punishment I deserved… as if love itself were my sin.”
― Khaled Ibrahim

when they become battlefields instead of shelters, when their shadows eclipse your lights, when holding on means watching yourself wither.”

I envisioned it all:
how we would grow together,
how we’d mend every rift with tenderness,
how each of us would be the guardian of the other's heart,
how we'd chase our dreams side by side,
how we'd weather every storm that tried to shake our peace,
how... and how... and how...

I envisioned everything—
everything but the ending.

one that didn’t include me.”
