About this book
There’s a beginning and an end to everything but for some; there’s nothing in between.
About the author: Huma Syed is a poet and a writer who wholeheartedly believes in serving the rawness of human emotions. The thing that keeps her going in life is the stories she finds in the quiet of people and gives them a loud meaning.
Excerpts
God gives me the knife.
I bury it
God gives me the knife again
I bury it again
Then God gives me your love
And I stab myself with it.
Love.
Make it remorseless. Let your bones ache, and bend
while taking their name.
And don’t just stop there. Love. Make it loud. Suppress
the cries of a child and comfort the worries of a mother.
Love.
For the mere purpose of loving.
I’d been terrible with my heart
I neglected its woes
each time I let love rule over it
But tonight it’s sound asleep,
That tormenting reign is over,
and the casualties are long buried
