#lone

There is the solitude of suffering, when you go through darkness that is lonely, intense, and terrible. Words become powerless to express your pain; what others hear from your words is so distant and different from what you are actually suffering. ↗

— John O'Donohue

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces Between stars—on stars where no human race is. I have it in me so much nearer home To scare myself with my own desert places. ↗

ن! نعم .. فقط شعرت بالوحدة.. وأن قلباً كان ينبض لي في الطرف الآخر من الكرة الأرضية قد توقف لم يكن حزناً أبداً،، كان خمولا مبعثه الشعور بأني ناقصة، تناقصت من أرواحي التسعة روح أو اثنتان لكنها كانت الأرواح الأكثر حياة، والتي تشبهك الأكثر حتماً! ↗

Things go backward. And then, one day, whatever it is we had, it’s gone. It won’t come back. We both know it. Whatever it is she let me have, she has taken it away. Whatever it is when two people agree to briefly occupy the same space, agree to allow their lives to overlap in some small area, some temporary region of the world, a region they create through love or convenience, or for us, something even more meager, whatever that was, it has collapsed, it has closed. She has closed herself to me. ↗
