"at the altar I shall wait" khatoon hazara ||| 10:55pm, wed. 3.27.19

You will never take away my smile

Nor will you ever steal a sliver of my joy

Neither a portion, a course, a morsel will you ever be seen with

No, my happiness is my own and I shall take every bit that I am deserving of to take; and I do deserve happiness, I too deserve to smile

To dance, to hold my lover's hand

But not by your standards, by mine alone.
