A Love I Swore By Alaa Muhammad
I swore by the love that lives within my chest To love no one but you, no matter the cost. You asked—is this truth or passing speech? I said: It is certainty, unbent, untouched. I loved in you the peace I never knew, And silence, when all words collapse in noise. When my heart grew tight, you were my widest home, And when dreams trembled, you never spilled away. I searched for meaning in no other hearts, Until I found you—and the search was done. So let the eyes debate a heart that chose, A love I swore by… and in your love, I stand.
