WAR Poem: War, by Nma Dhahir

In the silence of the night, I call your name,
A whisper lost in the wind, a flicker of flame.
You vanished without a trace,
Leaving me with shadows, and questions in hand.

Lebanon’s echoes carry your voice so far,
A distant memory, like a fading star.
Are you safe, my love, in the chaos and strife?
Or has the war stolen you, the light of my life?

I miss being with you, your laughter, your voice,
Now my messages don’t even go through, left without a choice.
I’m heartbroken and scared, not knowing you,
Every second without you feels like an endless wait.

I search the skies for a sign, a glimmer of hope,
In this endless darkness, struggling to cope.
Your absence is a wound, deep and raw,
A pain that lingers, a silent, aching flaw.

Come back to me,
Let me hold you close, like we did before.
But until that day, I’ll keep you in my heart,
A love unbroken, though we’re worlds apart.
