The Indignant Poetess

If You Died

I used to watch my grandparents fight.

She’d say that she hoped Allah would take him away,

But her heart couldn’t handle the pain when Allah granted her wish,

And she was taken from this earth less than a year later.

I’ve prayed endless nights for you to wash away in the ocean,

but I will drown in the same ocean that God gives me what I asked for.
