Tareq Jalabi - She

I`ve never cried
until she died
lying in bed
rolling from side to side
closing my eyes
i`m nothing but blind
no more rest
no more sleep
my soul is destroyed
from surface to deep
i`ve never wet the land
where i stand
****
i`ve never dropped a tear
in a moment of fear
till the time my heart
was torn by a spear
till the time my guide
was no longer near
i cried and cried
my face never dried
the only time i cried
was when humanity died
