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

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"

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

Zia Jan 2020
You choosing not to stay
made me find my way

Not Yet Gone
Zia Apr 2019
How easily you’ve moved on
As if the pain was none
Yes, I wanted to be alone
but not for too long
Maybe it came out wrong
I never thought we’d be done
As quick as a hit-and-run

How easily you’ve moved on
As if the pain was none...

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..

The End
Zia May 2019
despite your presence
i feel the absence
of your mind
maybe it's a sign
i feel it in my soul
and my toes
are we reaching
the end of you and me?

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

Untitled
Zia May 2019
My heart didn’t break
But my belly did ache
Fear gnawed my insides
Ain’t no one to brave the tides
But me, myself and I
I could no longer deny
I know he rues the day
He left me for another lay
I saw the signs
Didn’t I tell you
I’m good at reading
between the lines?

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

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

My Nightmare

Let my hands
tell you the story
of my mind
