she read what he wrote again
that Friday in Memphis
a story of old
when everything was good and everything was gold
they talked about growing old
together, forever
then came the heartbreak without explanation
her heart raced in pace in anticipation as she traveled to see his face
or so she thought
the trail of road
turned into another trail of tears
why this pain…
why these years…
why these tears…
to become stronger?
to remember everything happens for a reason?
to stop blaming herself when she knows she’s not the reason?

No one sees the tears that I cry
The tears that no one sees
No one knows the pain that I feel
The pain that I feel no one knows
The sadness
The abandonment
The heartbreak
Yeah my heart aches
Sharp pains in my chest
Surely in Allah do hearts find rest
O Allah dry my tears
do away with my fears
relieve my pain
O Allah I beg you
The sadness
The abandonment
The heartbreak
How much more of this can I take?
Help me, O Allah, help me
Release me from this misery
I get down on my knees
and beg You, my Lord, please

Looking up at the stars in the sky
Wondering why
Wondering why
Who am I
and how could I
Who are they
and how could they
Why this pain
why these tears
Looking up at the stars in the sky
Remembering why
remembering why
Who I am
and how I could
Who they are
and how they could
Know this pain
know these tears
Allah knows my fears
Looking up at the stars in the sky

tossing and turning
cannot sleep
thoughts of you will not leave
close my eyes and start to dream
there you are in my mind
why will you not escape me?
thinking of what should be
thinking of what could be
longing to see your face
look into your eyes
feel your touch
anticipating growing old with you
all I can think of is you

sorry Allah for my transgressions
everyday more confessions
my own fault I confess it
Paradise surrounded by tests
Hell surrounded by desire
ya Allah open up my chest
please save me from the Fire
Your Paradise I desire
the Prophets -peace be upon them- I admire
show me the way with Your Light
know I wanna do right
help me win this fight
help me help others
we’re all sisters and brothers
need to learn to love one another
You’re the only One;
there is no other
to You I turn
sorry for everything
know you guided me to siratelmustaqheem
away from the path of the mushirkeen
united with fellow muslimeen
ya Allah please keep me on your deen
I desire to be of Your mumineen

after all the lies and lies
all the cries and cries
feeling like I was gonna die
time and time again
gave my heart
was apparent from the start
why was it taken and torn all apart?
peace and love is gonna rule the world you say
from Allah is peace and love
He rules the world
turning to Him is the only way
where are we going and where do we turn?
there is so much to learn
this life is our sojourn
we shall submit to Allah
from Allah we come from
to Allah we shall return
after all

During the misery get down on your knees;
know that after every hardship comes ease (ameen).
Allah helps those in need who follow siratelmustaqheem;
who are kind to fellow Muslimeen.
Allah help me through it all.
Please don’t allow me to fall.
I feel like I have a huge pillar of pressure building on top of me,
if I don’t get this weight lifted off of me.
I know that I can get through it,
all I have to do is trust in Allah and put my mind to it.
Allah helps those

People might thing that you’re weird if you cover up your hair.
They may also stare.
Someone might even say mean things, but remember that God knows the hearts of all beings.
It’s not weird to be modest.
To be quite honest, the one’s who judge you just because you have respect for yourself are the one’s who truly need to check themselves.

feeling like a fool again
don’t know what to do again
trying not to cry again
feeling so much pain again
wanting to be happy again
don’t wanna feel like this ever again
though I’m sure I will again
