Adina Bari Writing

Hello old friend

I used to see in the mirror

Before those years

I used to see her clearer 

I love when you’re far enough

So I can look for long

And when we saw those stars

The worst was yet to come

I can’t seem to understand

How to imitate the sea

That kind of thing

Has been always hard for me

Hello my stranger

That used to decorate my room

I’m so sorry, I betrayed you

Tell me what I can do

You swore you’d never hurt me

Like you did again

I’m the one who wants to know you

You won’t be alone, you can’t

Tricked by disbelief 

Truth won’t be told

I’ve left myself across oceans

Now I’m scattered, I’m not whole
