fiction/friction

Please,
help me and I'm sorry.

I woke up
drenched in fear and anger.
I've never seen your face
so pale in terror,
and all I could gather
was a smile.
The unforeseen
is beyond my logical and
intuitive assumptions, but
the present is
within my control. The
immensity of lies
- which defines you -
is at its maximum expansion.

Situations do not just
occur. I watch the downpour
- please wash my pain away.
God is more forgiving.
We are imbeciles (we are).

It may be that you hate something when it is good for you and it may be that you love something when it is bad for you. Allah knows and you do not know. (Al-Baqarah:216).
