How can I begin to tell you how much I miss you without using those three common words that can't even start to express the magnitude nor the depth of my emotions. How can I write in my own blood while wanting to revert its color. The color of blood is similar to "I miss you". It has been raped by writers and lovers constantly, ever since Cain and Abel. I want to be able to create a new alphabet that can simply stand in front of you without bowing. I want to use new metaphors that would erupt like volcanoes between the phrases of my readers' souls. Metaphors such as your absence is similar to eating salt straight from the shaker while thirst is devouring my tongue. Metaphors such as the lack of your presence is like being straddled behind the glass of my own senses. Malak El Halabi
About This Quote

The notion of writing in your own blood sounds like an extreme way to say that you miss someone, but it's definitely one of the most romantic metaphors out there. The idea is that you can't get the right words to say how much you miss someone else unless you use blood. No matter how many times you use your heart, hand, lips, tongue or hands to express your feelings, the words simply won't come out right. It's as if those other parts of your body are not as important as the part of your body that produces blood. In fact, there is a popular saying that says, "If you can't say something with words, then say it with your heart." When you feel those butterflies in your stomach and those tears in your eyes when a loved one goes away for a long time, then they understand how much they mean to you without having to hear a word from you.
