a lover
fariha 23h
people keep telling me to text him less,
dont reply immediately,
let him search for me,
let him call me first,
but why?
why do i have to show less love to be treated properly?
when i have all the love inside me to give?
even if it will end up hurting me one day,
it will be his loss at the end of the day,
because why?
he didnt realize that someone was capable of loving him more than he could ever give to himself,
and i am not ashamed of loving.

too much
fariha Apr 11
i feel too much all at once,
i am confusing myself.

a month and a week
fariha Apr 9
i still have so many things to talk to you,
so many questions left unanswered,
so many that my heart yearns for it,

my feelings towards you has changed,
im growing more and more uninterested of being treated like this,
and more and more at adapting of leaving you,

i dont want to admit that im kind of afraid of losing you,
thats why i keep ties and binds you to somehow hold you still,
but i cant restrain and hold you back any longer from growing,

i will leave when i am truly satisfied,
and when i feel like you don’t deserve any of my love anymore,
though a sight of you will probably make me fall back to square one.

Rekindling
fariha Apr 6
all that peace talk i had with myself everyday,
finally break down,
with just a message,
to rekindle back our painful memories,
oh i wish i am numb and dull to emotions,
but i am fragile as a bubble,
as the wind blows me away, i will dissipate into air
eventually an apology will be long forgotten.

Time
fariha Mar 8
tik..tok-
the clock is ticking,
a glimpse of you has passed.

tik..tok;
the clock is ticking,
another silence follows,
with tears burning inside our heart.

tik..tok;
the clock is ticking,
the idea of me leaving you follows,
and my eyes are still smiling,
afraid of crying.

tik..tok;
the time has come,
and i need to leave you behind,
everything we had summed up in that silence,
a silence that kills,
a silence that we both will miss.

tik……tok;
until my clock stops.

I wish I can sit once more,
interlocking our eyes,
with none of the words were said,
so much for talking with our heart,
i do want to see you again.

Our plant of life
fariha Feb 28
if and IF,
i grow up being watered with loves and affection,
i’ll turn out less withered than i am now,
too much is more than enough and too less is never enough,
nevertheless;
i am trying to water my own life,
with what is less and what is enough,
so endless flowers would bloom,
regardless of what seasons i am in.

A moment
fariha Dec 2024
oh what is it that i love about people?
not people, him to be exact;
a day pass by and another week come closer to my existence,

i keep reminding myself,
that it is a fleeting moment,
i need to find a flaw on you, for me to find closure on myself,
so i, would not fall in another trap and another game of mine,

a week pass by, and a new month greets my eyes,
i am still pondering on how and what did i fall for, in you?
is it by interlocking our eyes while we share our laughter,
or is it the comfort that you gave me while making conversation to me?

oh once more, i have made a fool out of myself,
to fall for someone at a first sight? absurd!
but i know, fate would not let us meet again sooner,
however now, i am missing you still,
and i will bury this feeling inside my grave.

A sinner's wail
fariha Oct 2024
oh please god,
forbid me from feeling dejected,
from the way I see it,
I am slaughtering myself,
skin by skin, layer by layer,
without a call of mercy,
deep inside my chambers of Heart,
so never again;
I would bear
any agonising pain,
that would take the life of me.

i want
fariha Aug 2024
i want to be loved
i want to be held
when no one’s watching
or a million crowds staring
i want my love to be seen
and i want to be loved seen

i want the moon to be the witness of the night
when i am crying
i want the sun to be the witness of the day
when i am shining
i want the flowers to be the witness of our love
when i am growing

i want to be loved,
i wanted and i want,
but still, it slips through my fingers because i couldn’t have it.

spiraling
fariha May 2024
when will i forget the past that changed me,

but it feels like,
only time is ticking but i remained as the numbers in the clock.

suppress
fariha May 2024
if only tears can talk,
maybe it can speak for the things
that i shut myself for.
fariha Apr 2024
if you are going to love me,
love me all, even when i break,
love me all, even when there are things left unsaid,
love me all, even when words is stuck between the throat to speak,
love me all, even when body is left in the cold being weak,
love me all, even when i cannot stand hypocrisy for you to plead,
love me all, even when i give myself in to my own defeat,
love me all;
even when you never said “i love you” which i refuse to believed.

worst or worse
fariha Mar 2024
i feel like if i am really vulnerable,
i would actually try doing something that isnt so me,
i would try all the ***** i despised,
drugs, smoke, sell myself, and back to self-harm again even,
i would actually do it,
but in the back of my mind,
i could see a version of me,
being disappointed of myself,
when they found out,
their faces of disgust and disappointment,
i would rather die in a second than seeing that;
or am i the only who are just expecting too much?
fariha Mar 2024
i always feel the urge for people to understand me,
so, they wont misunderstand me,
in a way i feel like im being eaten up alive and ridiculed,
but also;
it’s not their fault for not understanding,
because i also realize,
i did nothing in my power to understand them.

unfair
fariha Feb 2024
if you were to be mine,
it would be a laughing matter,

it would be a “perfect match”, God sent from heaven

a choice?
fariha Feb 2024
as vast as my mind,
as vast as your mind,
as vast as the love in this world,
and the sea,
the universe even,
i bet the stars;
no thoughts of me would be the first thing to come across you.

Too much of a giver
fariha Feb 2024

time is cruel
fariha Jul 2023
time is indeed cruel,
it passed and it passed,
not a second late,

time is indeed cruel,
because then i wouldn’t lost you.

A mother’s daughter
fariha Jun 2023
she screamed my name so loud,
never once i felt my world crumbled,
i don’t know whether it’s terror or anger that i felt,
because in that eyes,
i can clearly see,
that her hate is bigger than love,
that her hate is louder than her voice,
just because I simply was late to her calling.

A woman’s love
fariha Jun 2023
in my next life,
i want to be a man,
not because i have more benefits in patriarchal social,
maybe that’s one thing,
but no;
i simply want to experience being loved by women as a man,
because that is the real privilege.

An Art
fariha Jun 2023
my body is a canvas,
a canvas to resort to own pain,
if i can’t carve it myself,
i let people paint on me,
i let the ink tattooed on my skin,
continuously,
until the ink and every paint runs out in this world,
then; my body has become an art.

I shut myself
fariha Jun 2023
“why dont you ever give us your opinion?”
opinions? MY opinions?
why would I even bother?
when my voice wont even resonate through your ears,
and my words wont even be enough to reach your brain,
including your eyes,
your eyes were looking through mine,
though in fact you’re not digesting my words, but yours.

in another life
fariha Jun 2023
in another life,
i hope to reincarnate,
as my mother’s mother,
so every day i can tell her,
how pretty she is,
how hardworking she is,
pat her back,
wipe her tears when she is sad,
tell her “it’s alright”,
listen to her stories,
and sing her bedtime lullabies,
because i know it is her first time becoming a mother.

delusion
fariha Jun 2023
small gesture and a brief conversation could mean nothing to me,
but to you?
it’s different-
it is big enough,
big enough to make you think,
that the truly small gesture was simply meant for you,
when it’s just how a normal human being act,
out of kindness to everyone else,
but you take it the wrong way,
because you.are.so.into.them,
absolutely in love with them,
or in my words,
you are absolutely deluding yourself.

outgrow
fariha May 2023
i guess,
this is the end,
might not be the end,
but at least deep down,
we knew,
we outgrown each other,
just like the **** outgrown its plant,
and how parasite outgrown its host,
both are harmful,
but us; outgrowing each other?
i think it’s for the best,
for your sanity and mine,
we both did our best,
but letting go was easier than holding on,
at last, i will abide your final goodbye.

drama of life
fariha Apr 2023
someday maybe i will realised that i play no role in your life,
a lead character?
no. not even a side character would fit me in your story,
it’s not my thinking,
i’m not insecure,
but i realised maybe i’m just fit to be the witness of your story,
the one who captured how each of your story unfold,
one by one,
where your tears fall,
and where you laugh until your face become red,
it’s more or less like a cameraman.

Friends
fariha Apr 2023
we’re bound to fall,
not to fall apart,
because if we fall apart,
it wouldn’t really hurt like this,
we are to bound to fall,
fall out of this relation,
that hurt us the most, even though
we knew that it was going to fall out someday,
still,
we are so eager to go against fate,
knowing it would still hurt,
aren’t we stubborn creatures?
now, we keep on plastering our unhealed wounds,
even though each day, new unhealed wounds were made.

empty
fariha Apr 2023
i was feeling empty,
not like an empty can,
but something,
more emptier than a can,
like a void,
or an endless tunnel,
where there’s no hope of returning back,
or more like a black hole,
where there’s no end,
and no guarantee of surviving,
i am empty.

victory

this time i’ll let you win,
not for the sake of my pride nor yours,

Perpendicular
fariha Apr 2023
parallel line?
no, we were always the perpendicular line,
two line that intercepts each other,
a paradoxical line that makes no sense of both,
but yet still together in all idleness,
just like us;
we intercept with each other’s life,
existing along the interception,
but; at the wrong time,
and at the wrong axis where you and i,
now absolutely detest each other,
but still we’ll be together,
living against the interception,
because we will always be;
a perpendicular line.

My mom,
is a gas lighter,
while my dad,
is the cigarette,
two things that are perfect for each other,
yet deadly when combined;

day by day,
the smokes,
**** their own children,
without noticing,
people called it second-hand smoker,
the cancer consumes them,
and finally, rot to die;
untreated.

No way
fariha Mar 2023
eyes widen,
tears fallen,
smile faded,
hands trembled,
knees weaken
"there's no...no way that's him?
the one that collapsed onto my arm?
from 3 years ago?"


he looked into my eyes with confusion
and said, "are you okay miss?"

am I?
am I supposed to be okay right now?
how can he forget about me,
I get it if it's anyone else,
but me?
who is he?
no.. more like, what is he?

I am afraid of the future may hold,
of what I may become or may not,

pathetic like my mother?
or abusive like my father?
I don’t get to pick and choose,
It’s in me.
