Predator
lurks

I am fearless.”

“عانقني بــ قوة..
دَعني أتسلل داخل ضلوعك..
وإصنع لي بيتًا على ذلك الجبل الذي يُسمى قلبك..
بيتًا أختبئ فيه من كل مخاوفي؛
من البشر،
من عقلي،
من اكتئابي وكل أمراضي النفسيه،
وحتى خوفي من حُبك..
وعِدني أن لا تهجرني في هذا البيت،
أن تمر عليّ بين الحين والأخر
فإني أخاف الوحده،
وأخاف هجرك.”
― مي عز الدين

كيف لي أن أقول لـ عقلي المُتمرد أن يتوقف عن التفكير بـ تفاصيلك ؟
كيف لي أن أقول لـ روحي البائسه أن تتوقف عن التعلق بالحياة لـِ أجلك ؟”

“Wednesday, March 23 I know now that I love Clarimonda. That she has entered into the very fiber of my being. It may be that the loves of other men are different. But does there exist one head, one ear, one hand that is exactly like hundreds of millions of others? There are always differences, and it must be so with love. My love is strange, I know that, but is it any the less lovely because of that? Besides, my love makes me happy.

If only I were not so frightened. Sometimes my terror slumbers and I forget it for a few moments, then it wakes and does not leave me. The fear is like a poor mouse trying to escape the grip of a powerful serpent. Just wait a bit, poor sad terror. Very soon, the serpent love will devour you.

"The Spider”
― Hanns Heinz Ewers, Nachtmahr: Strange Tales

ليس لأنني لا أحبك
بل لأنني لا أحب ذاتي،

أهرب لأنني ما عُدت أقوى على خذلان اخر.”
― مي عز الدين

― مي عز الدين
