“قد كنت في يوم بريء الوجه
زار الخوف قلبي فانتحر
وحدائقي الخضراء ما عادت تغني
مثلما كانت ...
وصوتي كان في يوم عنيدا وانكسر”
― فاروق جويدة, مختارات من شعر فاروق جويدة: قصائد حب

“منفىً هو العالم الخارجيُّ
ومنفىً هو العالم الداخليُّ
من أَنت بينهما؟
لا أُعرِّفُ نفسي تماماً
لئلاّ أُضيِّعها. و أَنا ما أَنا
وأنا آخري في ثُنَائيّةٍ
تتناغم بين الكلام وبين الإشارةْ.
ولو كنت أكتب شعراً لقلت:

أنا اثنان في واحد
كجناحَيْ سُنُونُوّةٍ ,
إن تأخَّر فَصْلُ الربيع”
― محمود درويش, كزهر اللوز أو أبعد

“Blue jeans, white shirt
Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn
It was like, James Dean, for sure
You're so fresh to death and sick as ca-cancer
You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip hop
But you fit me better than my favourite sweater, and I know
That love is mean, and love hurts
But I still remember that day we met in december, oh baby!

I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember
I will love you 'til the end of time

Big dreams, gangster
Said you had to leave to start your life over
I was like, “No please, stay here,
We don't need no money we can make it all work,”
But he headed out on sunday, said he'd come home monday
I stayed up waitin', anticipatin', and pacin'
But he was chasing paper
"Caught up in the game" ‒ that was the last I heard

I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember
I will love you 'til the end of time

You went out every night
And baby that's alright
I told you that no matter what you did I'd be by your side
Cause Imma ride or die
Whether you fail or fly
Well shit at least you tried.
But when you walked out that door, a piece of me died
I told you I wanted more-but that's not what I had in mind
I just want it like before
We were dancing all night
Then they took you away-stole you out of my life
You just need to remember....

I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember
I will love you 'til the end of time”
― Lana Del Rey

“و رجعت وحدي في الطريق
اليأس فوق مقاعد الأحزان
يدعوني إلى اللحن الحزين
و ذهبت أنت و عشت وحدي.. كالسجين
هذي سنين العمر ضاعت
و انتهى حلم السنين
قد قلت:
سوف أعود يوما عندما يأتي الربيع
و أتي الربيع و بعده كم جاء للدنيا.. ربيع
و الليل يمضي.. و النهار
في كل يوم أبعث الآمال في قلبي
فأنتظر القطار..
الناس عادت.. و الربيع أتى
و ذاق القلب يأس الانتظار
أترى نسيت حبيبتي؟
أم أن تذكرة القطار تمزقت
و طويت فيها.. قصتي؟
يا ليتني قبل الرحيل تركت عندك ساعتي
فلقد ذهبت حبيبتي
و نسيت.. ميعاد القطار..!”
