There is Quran and
Prayers to be made
Late night tears
Some semblance of piety
There is a dull ache
I am not oblivious
Just teary eyed in a public space
No longer knowing why
The turn out for Jummah was good
Didn't make the second jammat
I am constantly late for things
It would be the story of my life
If not for you
I am staring at the girl
On the other side of the street
No metaphors there never were
I told myself I wouldn't
How sorry I will be
When my eyes speak of what they saw
I will be held to account
Recounting every Friday
Every missed opportunity
I look at you and hope
That you will never cross that road
I don't remember when
You became the girl
The story of my life
When I first found pieces of you scattered
In this guilty conscious
Didn't make the second jammat
I am constantly late for things
It would be the story of my life
If not for you
I am staring at the girl
On the other side of the street
No metaphors there never were
I told myself I wouldn't
How sorry I will be
When my eyes speak of what they saw
I will be held to account
Recounting every Friday
Every missed opportunity
I look at you and hope
That you will never cross that road
I don't remember when
You became the girl
The story of my life
When I first found pieces of you scattered
In this guilty conscious
