لماذا اخترتني؟

ماذا أفادتني هدايا
أُهديت بعد الهلاك؟
كيف التجمل في مرايا
لا أرى فيها سواك!
 
أخلقتها حتى ترى
من قد خلقتَ لكي تراك؟
فتشد من أحبال صوتي
كلما صوتٌ دعاك؟
 
صدني ومزّقني
فإن الناس ترميني
ببحرٍ ليس يبغيني
فلا تُربٌ ولا ماءٌ بطيني
لا هلاك
صدني فإني
لا أَصيد ولا أُصاد
..أنا الشباك
 
ما بين أيدي الطالبين وبين ما طلبوا..سواك
أيني أنا؟
ما لي مكانٌ
"كيف أطلب ما "هناك" بلا "هنا؟
..هبني ثلاثة أحرفٍ .. لا غيرها
"هبني "هنا
 
حتى أشير إليك منها
كي أفرّق بيننا
حتى يُلمّح اصبعً بالميل
من من"نا" أنا
 
قل لي لماذا اخترتني؟
وأخذتني بيديك من بين الأنام
ومشيت بي .. ومشيت .. ثم تركتني
كالطفل يبكي في الزحام
إن كنت - يا ملح المدامعِ - بعتني
فأقل ما يرث السكوت من الكلام
فأقل ما يرث السكوت من الكلام
هو أن تؤشر من بعيدٍ بالسلام
أن تغلق الأبواب إن قررت ترحلَ في الظلام
ما ضرّ لو ودعتني؟
ومنحتني فصل الختام؟
حتى أريح يديّ من تقليب آخر صفحةٍ من قصتي
تلك التي .. يشتد أبيضها، فيُعميني إذا اشتد الظلام
..حتى أنام .. حتى أنام .. حتى أنام
 
هذه شموعك، لم أزل بالليل أرجوها، فلم تتعطفِ
!ما بالها لم تنطفِ؟
مُت! .. مُت! أو لتتركني أمت!
..اختر مماتاً أو حياةً واختفِ!
..لا تحيا كالأشباح فيّ
 
Translation

Why did you choose me?

What can I do with gifts
That were given to me after the end of the relationship?
How can I beautify myself in front of a mirror
That I can only see you in it! (the mirror)
 
Did you bring this mirror so you can see
The girl that you made to see you?!
The girl who answers
Whenever anyone calls you
 
Hunt me, and tear me apart
Cause people are throwing me
In a sea that doesn't want me
There is no soil or water in my clay
There is no destruction
Hunt me because
I don't hunt, neither can be hunted
I'm the net
 
(I'm the net) Between the people who wants you, and you
Where I'm I? 1
I have no place (in your life)
How can I ask for "the future" while I don't have "the present"?
Give me three letters, that's all ..
Give me "now" 2
 
So I can point at you
To define which is which
To wave my finger
And define which one of "us" is "me" 3
 
Tell me, why did you choose me? from the crowd
Took my hand, and walked me, walked me..
Then, you left me, all alone..!
Like a lost child crying in the middle of the crowd
If you, the reason of my tears, decided to leave me
Then, at least, after all what we had between us
Then, at least, after all what we had between us
You can at least wave me "hi" when you see me
You can at least close the door behind you, if you decided to disappear in the middle of the night 4
What could you have lost if you at least told me goodbye?
If you put an end to my final chapter?
So I can rest my hand, instead of my hesitation to flip the last page of our story
That page, its whiteness make me blind when it gets so dark 5
Till I sleep..till I sleep.. till I sleep
 
Here are your candles, I kept begging them at night, but they never did what I asked them to 6
Why don't they put out?
Die! Die! or let me die!
Pick life or pick death then get lost!
Don't live in me like a ghost.
 
  • 1. Who I'm I to you?
  • 2. Give me the present.
  • 3. https://youtu.be/4A6nJjtw5-M?t=1m17s
  • 4. Metaphor
  • 5. The whiteness that makes the one blind, like looking at the sun. I think she means when she keep thinking at night about their relationship and how is it gonna end, until she fall asleep.
  • 6. By candles she means the flame of love in her heart.
