Love in Aleppo

I soothed myself with that message when you abandoned me; I tricked myself into believing that he will come back once the siege is over. I was aware that you will not come back; you did not. At some point, I was no longer able to deceive myself. That moment I wished that a rocket would fall in front of my house so that the wall would be wiped out. I was yearning to forget how you cheated me with empty promises. ​
