escaping

i was rushing up the stairs,
running away from the fears,
the nightmares, the past.

and you were coming down
those very stairs, entering
my fears, my nightmares,
my past.

and we bumped into
one another, colliding
two different worlds
into the same universe,
with only a mere eye contact
and a slightly curved lip.

attacks
 Sep 2014 Fatima Zahid

sometimes i get these attacks,
where i feel like i just
want to scream,
at the top of my lungs
because you aren't here
anymore,
and i miss you,
so much.

and sometimes i get these attacks,
where i feel like i can't breathe,
because you aren't next to
me, and you never were,
and you never will be.


and sometimes i get these attacks,
where i just want to kiss you,
when i see you,
i want to kiss that beautiful
face of yours,
and those lips that
are always full, wet
and pink.

and sometimes i get these attacks,
where i just want to hide
in a corner and cry,
because i know
you'll never be mine.

If we know we can not survive,
we can at least try.
because, if we don't try,
we will never know how it
feels to be **alive.

it was a blurry saturday night,
the sky cleared from the thick clouds,
bodies were swaying and
music was playing,
but all i felt was emptiness
and all i heard was silence.

and on that tipsy saturday night
while the wind was blowing in my face,
i thought of you, here-
next to me, holding my hand,
trying to hide that broad smile
on your glowing face.

the one thing i learned that chilly night,
was that no one will ever love you
the way i loved you, and how
i loved everything about you,
no matter your flaws and imperfections.

we are
just nobodies
to somebodies
who are nobodies too.

your eyes are
glimmering oceans
and i am slowly
drowning without
anyone to save me,
this swimming lesson
was fun but you pulled
at my feet from underneath
and took me with you
under the surface,
whose waves are sending
shocks through me,
making me feel completely
taken away by the tidal
waves of your rapid heartbeat.

you stole my heart
and you locked it
in a cage, unable
to escape your
dangerous,
disasterous claws.
