a poem by Raneem Ali
art by Luisa
In my dreams you love me back
The green-eyed monster
It cut me some slack
As i plan my attack
On the ones you love back
Like a maniac
I stayed awake
Coffee and a pack
It’s getting late
If i dream of you and i haven’t slept
If you could tell what happens next
If i didn’t text
If i never left
Insomniac
If i understand the zodiac
Not the kind you hate
The killer you said was great
A movie you said was fate
If the scars on you would always remain
Through thick and thin
Through love and vain
If you see your scars and recall
Would you remember me at all?
If grey was blue
If you loved me too
If i noticed you were cruel
If you said it wasn’t juvenile
If i danced by the river nile
Would any of this be less true?
If you loved me just as much as i loved you
Not juvenile, but true
Would you still love her too?
