The day I said goodbye...
Zia Oct 2020
Our love, I foolishly hoped, would be pretty simple
For down my spine you’d always send a tender tickle
But you and not I turned out to be blithely fickle
The day you said goodbye, I got to see pure evil
In eyes that were once alluring if not readily sinful
I silently cried because my heart then you did *******
The forever you promised somehow became a mere wrinkle
In the future that I now have to explain in past participle

Release
Zia Jun 2020
A river of sins
coursing in my veins
you’re slowly
creeping
under my skin
Your hands
the firing pin
I beg
up to my chin
to release me
oh! my king
‘fore the
adrenaline
swallows me
within

Silence
Zia Jun 2020
Of a brewing silence
and buried emotions
we’ve built a house
walled with doubts
our interior decor
layered with rancour
Scattered ornaments
cloak our armaments
Oft engaged in aphonic wars
We rack up our scores in
crystal-clear jars
Jun 2020 · 254
Blessed
Zia Jun 2020
You came as a surprise
And made me realise
that on earth there’s paradise
I just have to look in your eyes
and feel how blessed am I

Daydream
Zia Jun 2020
I think of you very often
of what could have been
if I hadn’t left back then
We had a great between
I think of how it all began
and how it had to end
You are the only has-been
that would have been
more than it had been
were we given
more than a min
I can only imagine!

Flawed
Zia Apr 2020
We were two peas in a pod
Trying to beat the odds
Because we didn’t pray
to the same god
People called us frauds
But couldn’t they see
they were as much flawed
as us two broads?

Lame
Zia Apr 2020
You only care
when I lie, bare
on your bed
my legs spread
you shout, honey
I’ll make you happy
but we both know
all you want is a blow
until then you’ll pretend
that you care until the end
Mar 2020 · 242
Special
Zia Mar 2020
You've always been different from the rest
And that's why, to me, you'll always be the best

Period
Zia Mar 2020
you came
you saw
and you left

i cried
i stayed
and i conquered

Unloading
Zia Mar 2020
i care what people think
i'm now standing at the brink
in one hand p'haps my last drink
my mind and heart out of sync
n'er been a great swimmer so maybe i'll sink
my eyes move to the sky, strangely pink
even if i want to, i can’t blink
until i hear the distant clink
wait, where am i? aloud i think
in my office, says the shrink
Mar 2020 · 216
Hindsight
Zia Mar 2020
I walked away, weak
I looked ahead, bleak
I endured pain, strong
I thought of dying, wrong
I built over, alone
I started smiling, milestone
I laugh and live, selfish
I’m not looking back, you wish
Mar 2020 · 197
Smashing Bridges
Zia Mar 2020
You tease me
with fleeting kisses
You whisper in my ears
your dearest wishes
You profess to love
all my broken pieces
You keep saying
you’ll keep your promises
So why am I in tears
just like your ex misses?

My Drug
Zia Mar 2020
How can he wipe days of heartache with just a smile and a hug...
He sweeps everything under the rug
With a careless shrug
At my heartstrings he manages to tug
Even with a mean mug
He looks smug
He knows he’s my drug
Just like I’m his eternal snug
Mar 2020 · 214
Adventurous
Zia Mar 2020
We were audacious
But never ostentatious
He was definitely flirtatious
He explained, I was curvaceous
He couldn’t help but feel salacious
I was going to say, oh Lord Jesus
But I’m not religious
Besides, his kind of dangerous
was very contagious
I couldn’t help but feel rapacious
Mar 2020 · 175
Isn’t it..?
Zia Mar 2020
You only care
when I lie bare
on your bed
my legs spread
you shout, honey
I’ll make you happy
but we both know
all you want is a blow
until then you’ll pretend
that you care until the end
Mar 2020 · 213
Only You
Zia Mar 2020
what more can I say
when I show you every day
there is no one but you
you better believe it boo
Mar 2020 · 152
Melancholy
Zia Mar 2020
The whispers from her yesterdays
haunt her everydays
turning her tomorrows
into sorrows
Mar 2020 · 204
Forever
Zia Mar 2020
You lived in my teenage dreams
Nothing has changed, it seems
Your face always dominates
Every time my mind illustrates
You’re still stuck in my head
Even when my heart lies in a new bed
Mar 2020 · 124
And you’re out...!
Zia Mar 2020
As I walked away from you
My heart was breaking into pieces
Knowing that I was hurting you
For you turned out to be just another one of my vices

As I walked away
On my mind, a slide of your face
Creasing in pain (or disdain?)

It was child’s play
Nodding to your lies with a straight face
I had to pull the chain

So today
You left me no choice but to grace
you with the truth you thought inane

And as I walked away
I crossed your name off the master race
And out of my brain
Mar 2020 · 154
Do you know..?
Zia Mar 2020
If there was a better half of me
It could only be you and no one else
Don’t you know I am my best
Only when you’re next to me?
Mar 2020 · 179
Growing
Zia Mar 2020
I didn't think twice
for which I paid the price
Aiming for new heights
I now select my fights
Mar 2020 · 146
Moving On
Zia Mar 2020
I used to wish
For the sky to open
To let me see
Who was there
Making fun of me
To ask why
Was I so unlucky?
But the sky
Didn’t answer
It kept moving
So I did too..
Mar 2020 · 132
The End
Zia Mar 2020
As I walked away from you
My heart was breaking into pieces
Knowing that I was hurting you
For you turned out to be just another one of my vices


As I walked away
On my mind, a slide of your face
Creasing in pain (or disdain?)

It was child’s play
Nodding to your lies with a straight face
I had to pull the chain

So today
You left me no choice but to grace
you with the truth you thought inane

And as I walked away
I crossed your name off the master race
And out of my brain

Another Love Story
Zia Mar 2020
She likes playing with words
Builds beautiful sentences
He likes playing with dolls
Breaks them into pieces
It won't work, it won't work
People smirk
Another love story
Out of the ordinary
She didn't care
Emotions laid bare
To him she whispered
"Give me your word
Promise to love me
Before you destroy me"
Feb 2020 · 156
Stuck in Winter
Zia Feb 2020
gone are those summer days
when blood rushed like wine
our skin turned brown
'coz the sun never went down
but now it feels like
we're stuck in winter
didn't even know who
changed the picture
the sky turned grey
and the cold has crept in
Feb 2020 · 179
My Truth
Zia Feb 2020
"You are beautiful", says the mirror.
My mind sneers, "Here's another liar."
Feb 2020 · 158
You bet
Zia Feb 2020
I don’t want to live with regrets
They’ll bury me before I’m dead
But sure, I’ll take some secrets
Where I’ll be finally laid to rest
Feb 2020 · 141
Knight
Zia Feb 2020
My knight had no armour
nor did he come on a horse
he knocked on my door
bare chest and in shorts
Feb 2020 · 144
Say what?!
Zia Feb 2020
Ignore his ****
See how quick
he finds another chick
for a better lick
******* *****
thinks he’s slick

Call me a *****
‘coz I’m about to switch
Better, call me a witch
‘coz I’m about to bewitch
Fin, Harry or Mitch
No matter which
I have this itch
I gotta ditch
Feb 2020 · 168
Dem Words
Zia Feb 2020
I try to escape from the rhymes
But they find me between the lines
Words jump out from conversations
My trigger to articulated aspirations
I promise them a new sentence
Some agree with reluctance
While you are building castles
I'm writing down time capsules
Feb 2020 · 172
I need to go
Zia Feb 2020
As easily as the sun sets every day
I wish I could break away
From you who are holding me prisoner
From you who promised me happy-ever-after
The gold has finally faded
and I now feel jaded  
I believed by staying I was strong
but now I know I’m so wrong
I need that first step
that’s the only way I’m going up
By leaving you behind
Banish you from my mind
Remove you from my heart
A new life I’ll start
Feb 2020 · 189
And here I still am
Zia Feb 2020
No matter how many times
the voice in my head comes up
with reasons to leave
my heart whispers
“Stay. Don’t give up.”
Feb 2020 · 151
Commitment
Zia Feb 2020
We’re told we don’t fit
What do they know
but a lil bit?
From where we sit
You and I know it
We’re in it
‘til the last spit

My Nightmare
Zia Jan 2020
yesterday you were here
today i am not there
tomorrow we'll be nowhere
coz we won't be here or there
Jan 2020 · 191
oh dear!
Zia Jan 2020
i float in the air
and let loose my hair
every time you stare
like i'm the prettiest mare
you have in your lair
Jan 2020 · 152
memories
Zia Jan 2020
i try
to grab
at the fading
memories
of us
but they float away
away from me
just like you did
Jan 2020 · 147
Thank you, next!
Zia Jan 2020
You choosing not to stay
made me find my way
Jan 2020 · 148
Winter
Zia Jan 2020
none the wiser
you the stranger
smiled with candor
it felt like summer
and i melt like butter
in the dead of winter
Jan 2020 · 132
Semper Fi
Zia Jan 2020
happy is i

Jan 2020 · 138
Make-believe
Zia Jan 2020
One beautiful story
you and i weaved
for all to see
so they could believe
Jan 2020 · 253
Healed
Zia Jan 2020
It used to hurt
to think about you
but now I smile
because I knew you
for a while
Aug 2019 · 264
New Times
Zia Aug 2019
You want me
to be the me
when we first met
Don’t you know
that she is now dead?
I buried her
as soon as
you killed her
Aug 2019 · 341
Still
Zia Aug 2019
even though you’re no
longer in my heart
you are still on my mind
Aug 2019 · 488
Incomplete
Zia Aug 2019
Not that I can’t
but I simply won’t
until you can
then I shall...
Aug 2019 · 203
Unavailable
Zia Aug 2019
To me you were everything
To you that meant nothing
Aug 2019 · 717
Punishment
Zia Aug 2019
I love you too much
and that’s certainly a crime
because you don’t love me as much
and that’s my punishment.
Jul 2019 · 212
Short & Sweet
Zia Jul 2019
we knew forever was not for us
we didn’t even have to discuss
we squeezed out what we could
and moved on like we were good
Jul 2019 · 505
Oh Destiny
Zia Jul 2019
in my mind we looked good together
in my heart we felt right for each other
but fate showed me i didn’t know better
that i needed that chapter to get stronger
for what would come for me would be greater
Jul 2019 · 305
So it seems...
Zia Jul 2019
hand in hand
our feet sinking in sand
whilst on the beach we stand
the cool breeze lulling us into dreamland

but it’s not a dream
we are not on live stream
i see in your eyes the same gleam
as a silver sea kissed by the moonbeam
Jul 2019 · 196
Ticking Bomb
Zia Jul 2019
i wish i could tell you about my inner battles
but those woeful afflictions still have me in shackles
i hope to one day let you hear the other voices
that live in my head like explosive devices
