I Can't Love You Poem by Anwer Ghani

I'm so sorry, I can't love you because I'm just a faint residue. I can't love you because I'm from here; from the sad land. Yes, you have a very beautiful voice, but I can't love you because I am a man who can only cry. Believe me I can't love you because I cannot smile in the morning, and I will fail to whisper at night. You see; I'm just a blind shadow so I can't love you. I am a sandy man and son of the desert, so I can't love you. I'm the heir of wars and red tales, so I can't love you. I'm from here; the dry land, so I can't love you.
