Sleepless Nights

By Sanaa Dal

The angels reject me

So, the demons hug me

A deal with the devil

To love me; for I no longer fear peril

Gifting my soul away

My black heart he prudently conveys

The angels see their abandonment and mistake

But let their minds regretfully contemplate

For now, the devil lovingly hates me

Protecting and indulging; he allowed me to see

To fall in love with the darkness,

It was truly the angels who made me heartless…

Dedication

To all those who are crowded in sleepless nights

I see how much your soul, every day, fights.

To all those grippingly trapped in their minds

Remember, your strength in staying is that which makes you shine.

To all those who hang on to a scintillate of hope

Rest assured, I’ve done most if not all the mechanisms you use to cope.

To those who believe they aren’t heard upon or looked upon,

This is for you…
