Arfah Afaqi Zia

You conversing
with others
Or eyeing on me
through your references
is not what bothers me,

You not talking to me
you arguing with me
or even ignoring me
due to reasons
is not what bothers me

You not opening up to me
because of your insecurities
or hiding a secret
because you can't tell me
is not what bothers me

But if you hold me
responsible for all our feuds
or find ways to guilt me
in covering up your flaws
In easy words, what bothers me is that you lied to me.

A house on fire

As if walking bare in a sea of flaming coal
You set fire to all that I am
The longer I stay, the faster I burn
So, I move
I move to salvage my soul
I move, to revive a dying soul
I have lived a thousand lives to die by your very sword
I have walked a thousand miles to forget you, yet my feet wonder back to the embers of our burning home
A home where our love once lived
A home home where my broken heart still beats

#love #home #brokenheart #broken

Lonely Desire

I'm jealous of the warmth inside of you
The scent that gets to kiss your skin
The food that gets to dance in your mouth
The one that occupies your thoughts when you and the sun go to sleep
The warmth you give to your sheets
The pillow that gets to witness your dreams
The breath between your lips
The cadence of your beating heart that whispers sweet nothings to the one you now get to love
A heart I borrowed but could never afford
I'm jealous

I'm jealous of your heart
A heart that loved me

something I never could.
