i spent my childhood, like a teenager,
and i spent my adolescent years,
behaving like an adult,
and i tried to go back to my childhood,
i realise there’s nothing,
i realise i don’t remember anything,
i even force the feeling,
to actually feel something,
but- i don’t feel anything?
how is it possible,
that i’ve grown so fast,
but left ‘myself’ behind,
with tattered mind,
and shattered timeline,
alongside the traumatising lifeline.

reach me, my inner child,
let me return your hugs and pat your back when you cries,
and listen to what you have to say,
reach me,
inner child.

I  gasped,
As if you are taking my breathe away,
In the depth of heat,
I lost my mind,
As if;
My sanity were melting away,
along with my purity.

“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.

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.

I cannot die but I'm not living either,
but mom;
tell me,
if I do well today,
am I going to live tomorrow?
fariha Apr 2022
jika semalam dikatakan duka,
biar malam ini engkau berlara,
dalam hening sepi,
engkau kian bercinta,
walau takdir terputus mati.

let me be your cigarette,
in a pack of many,
lit me up like the fears of delight,
and blaze the fire in the tears of fright,
hoping that one day,
It will **** your ******* pride.
fariha Jun 2023
if you are to be at my funeral,
don’t forget to throw,
any flowers you know,
so;
at least my mom will realise that i’ve lived a good life with people.

everything starts to have meaning,
when it’s already gone.

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.

He’s calling me,
anywhere at any time,
in the broad daylight,
or in the darkest night,
where i should see the stars,
shining darker than what i've seen,
flowing with elegance,
making sound like no other,
he’s laughing at me,
saying “you’ve lost”.

since the world is trying to keep us apart,
then;
we shall try again in heaven.
fariha Apr 2021
i try,i pour,
even though all the words dryer than my tongue,
even when my soul is at the edge of crying,
i try,i pour,
every single of words at the end of my lips,
every single tears from my eyes,
every single soul i wish to cry,
every single message i wish to try,
but,
i am the one,
who loves to try,
even when the message is beyond reach.

i do believe in miracle,
how can i not?
when here i am,
laying on my sofa,
thinking of my existence,
while writing this,
when someone could be at the brink of death;
but i also don’t believe in miracle,
i mean how can i not?
when i was stranded at the side of the road,
waving for someone,
when i all hear is sounds of toad,
thinking “oh there should be at least someone or anyone!”,
well,
i tell you what,
i guess miracle can be achieved if you believe in what you believed,
confusing?
think again,
all these paths to your growth,
how much miracles have passed?
right?

mom
mom,
i wish you knew,
how i cried myself at night,
wanting someone to hug me so dearly,
as i shuddered myself being consumed by the darkness,
the darkness with no ray of hope nor trace of light,
those sacred words that came from an imbecile's mouth,
struck my fragile heart,
those nightmares kept on haunting me,
as if it happened yesterday,
how i wish,
you could wrap me in your arms with warmth,
a warmth that no one could proffer.

Mom
because i know
sometimes she sits
on the bed
crying and regretting

the choices she wish
she never made
at a ripe age.
fariha Oct 2022
Every time i walk past a mirror,
i notice something’s following me,
even when the sun is bright,
or even when the moon is dim,
it was my own darkness following me.

loving you,
is like playing with fire,
the closer I am,
the more I burn,
the farther I am,
the colder you act towards me,
but still I love you.
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?
fariha Sep 2021
“i miss you”,
how should i say,
that you only miss my company,
darling.
i thought to myself while my mouth,
slipping an “i miss you too” with a smile.
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.
fariha Jan 2022
think, think, think, think,
keep thinking,
in this endless tunnel of mind,
of what so called "hope",
but more like hopeless,
to even think about.
fariha Jan 2021
Brightest smile i seek,
Blue eyes i plead,
Beautiful lips i adore,
Im nor in of those,
Because;
You are the perfect one of them all.
fariha Jun 2022
maybe it was the idea,
of two people falling in love,
that keeps me sane,
or maybe it was just my imagination,
that we are already perfect,
holding each other’s pillar,
not to fall,
when I literally don’t have the image of the other person,
all these maybes and ifs,
stuck upon my sanity.

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.
fariha Jun 2023
only today,
i have come to realise,
that only love;
can heal and break people.
fariha Jan 2023
I look into your eyes,
and I see myself,
once more,
I look into your eyes,
and I see her.

The fire in his eyes;
brought me back to life,
The darkness in his soul,
left me broken despite;
knowing the risk of every single tide.

But answer me ***,
If joy can make me less miserable,
Can you be the guide along with riding this rollercoaster ride?
fariha Mar 2021
let this haunting memories,
sails along my tainted soul,
because i could no longer steer,
in my own island.
fariha Jan 2022
in the midst of sadness,
I found solace,
and a truest companion,
that shall remind me,
not to remain,
in the abyss,
and not to remain,
insane.
fariha Aug 2021
I'm writing on my notes religiously
waiting someone to forgive all of my sins
that could never be forgiven
waiting someone to notice
how a sinner I am.
fariha Jul 2021
I will be the one who lit up our thread
by making a blazing flame
that you could not even
water with tears

"some things are better left unsaid,
like the way you were hurting me,
and the way you look into my eyes everyday,
as if i'm going to disappear."

some things are better left unsaid,
like hurting her was my biggest regret,
and her gleaming eyes that kept me sane everyday,
as if you are going to leave me.

some things are better left unsaid,
like our unsent letters,
and the way your actions affect my daily life,
as if we are not going to last.

some things are better left unsaid,
like our tragic love story,
where you disappear,
without saying goodbye to me nor to the world.

and some things are better left unsaid,
like how you were my only last string.

when will i forget the past that changed me,
will i ever?
can i?
do i?
i mean i am supposed to move on,
but it feels like,
only time is ticking but i remained as the numbers in the clock.
fariha Mar 2022
by day,
the sun lost its shine,
it will be the day,
the moon took over,
to fight against the void,
of darkness,
along with the dead stars.
fariha May 3
if only tears can talk,
maybe it can speak for the things
that i shut myself for.
fariha Oct 2022
I open the door…,
and I see myself;
my tiny self sitting at the corner,
crying in the dark.
fariha Feb 2021
The ties wont be severed,
No matter how miles I run,
The bond wont ever be cut,
No matter how grasp the word freedom,
because;
your blood runs through mine,
and never have I ever had asked for it.
fariha Jul 2023
time is indeed cruel,
it passed and it passed,
not a second late,
and not a second early,
time is indeed cruel,
because then i wouldn’t lost you.
fariha Feb 18
i am too full of loves,
even though i give it for free to lavish,
but still;
i am too full of loves.
fariha Aug 2022
parallel or lateral,
there was always you,
at one point,
from one axis,
to another axis,
where I am not sure if you even exist.
fariha Mar 14
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.
fariha Feb 29
if you were to be mine,
it would be a laughing matter,
but if you were meant to be hers,
it would be a “perfect match”, God sent from heaven
fariha Sep 2021
all these stars passing by,
when i just need the moon.
fariha Jun 2023
"I like your eyes",
I know in fact he did not,
because deep in my brown iris,
all he could see is himself,
and he likes it,
so much.
fariha Mar 2023
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.
fariha Apr 2021
for god's know when,
how much i tried,
and how much i loved.
fariha Jun 2023
by the time you feel regret,
your cries has no meaning,
and your victories will gain nothing.
fariha Oct 2021
and your problems,
is not my responsibility,
yet I found myself miserable in fatigue,
when you skips your meals,
while you're laughing at your phone.
fariha Apr 2023
this time i’ll let you win,
not for the sake of my pride nor yours,
it’s for the closure,
that i have always wanted.
