Nothing In Return

Nothing In Return

Firas Adel Hallak

Lately, I’ve been sleeping with my eyeglasses on

Hoping to see and understand my dreams

But every time I tried, I fail and see that everything is gone

I don’t need champagne or superior quality

I need something

Something that would control my mentality

I don’t need books of literature

Nor the ashes that remained from the fire

I don’t need anything that can be touched

I need something that would fulfill my desires

I find it strange and pathetic how you look at me

And expect something in return

I would love to look at you

And watch you burn.
