"zeenat" poems
Confessions of a terrorist.
Possessed by the devil,
I strode out to do evil,
With enmity written large on my face,
Somebody has to be clad in deaths embrace.
Just yesterday a child became an orphan.
And a couple were worried by the ransoms burden.
The fetters of depression behold the city,
Where everyday criminals like me enter captivity.
Karachi, Karachi of yore
Shall not surface, will not surface
Whilst I trigger my double barrel bore.

You know depression is creeping in when...
Small things pick at you,
Everything starts to bother you.
Sadness begins to form,
Misery becomes the norm.
Smiles quickly disappear,
Anger moves up a gear.
Loneliness is preferred,
Thoughts become blurred.
Hasty judgements often occur,
Negativity you cannot deter.
Finally, it all becomes clear,
Death you no longer fear.

You claim to love her
But every rub is an irritation
Are you really in love
Cuz it feels like suffocation
You’re clinging on to
A love that’s vulnerable
Excuses at the ready for
Prolonging the inevitable
Self respect disappears
Much like the passion
That once existed
Not even an ounce of compassion
Unable to set her free
Losing all hope
A loveless life
You cannot cope
If I promise to let you go
Would you ever take another look
Your face once filled with laughter
From you, this is what I took
I have come to my senses
We cannot move forward
Me hanging onto a habit
If only love was straightforward
I wish things were different
Ifs and buts are just words now
It was over a long time ago
I broke the most important vow

From the moment a child opens its eyes,
To the world and its ties:
She nurtures it like a steadfast rock,
Right from pant to frock.
" And I shall guide you,
On the path that I walked on,
Before you came along.
In sickness and in health,
In poverty and in wealth,
Whenever I needed company,
You gave the note to the harmony.
Sit tight little one......".

If suicide allowed me to be in your arms for just a moment I would be dead already.
The thing you don't know is that every minute I'm away from you, I die just that little bit more. Eventually your absence will be the cause of my silence, an empty shell wandering, thinking was it even real?

Why is loving you
Such a chore
All I wanna do
Is give you more
You distance yourself
From my presence
This is supposed to be love
Not a prison sentence
The more I offer
The further you drift
I’m a fighter
Won’t ever quit
I made a promise
To love you forever
My heart still beats
For you, my lover
I want you always
In this world and the next
A moment without you
Is a moment of regret
The day I stop loving you
Will be the start of my demise
My lost soul pondering
If we’ll ever meet in paradise

I’m an addict,
You’re my addiction.
You’re my wine with every meal,
My drug before bed.
A moment without you,
And I’ve got the shakes.
You’re my poison,
But I need you.
Is love the real addiction,
Or is it just you?
But then I realised, without YOU,
I might as well be dead.

When you keep yourself to yourself, they think you’re a loner.
When you open up, they shut you down.
When you try to occupy yourself, they say you have no time for anyone else.
When you accept depression, they think you’re making a fuss over nothing.
When you cry out for help, they think you’re acting out.
When you feel suicidal, they think you’re attention seeking.
When you’re gone, they wished they had done more.

I see you everyday
I wonder if u notice
I try to catch a glimpse
Don’t wanna make it obvious
Try to make conversation
At the first opportunity
Things get in the way
You seem quite busy
But I still throw in a smile
In the hope u smile back
Or even just a hi
Give me a reason to stop
Can’t seem to
Get you outta my head
Frightened to think
What lies ahead
Never understood these feelings
Butterflies in my stomach
Then it hit me
Dayyum, is this love or summat
But how could this be
I’ve lost all control
On the other hand
You have touched my soul
Don’t have the courage
To tell you how I’m feeling
My anxiety kicking in
Random thoughts occurring
Dunno if I’m brave enough
I’m scared of rejection
I wanna profess to u
My love and affection
Negativity all around me
Thought of you keeps me going
Every moment every minute
My love for you keeps growing
This is killing me now
You probably don’t have a clue
I hope you’re reading this baby
Cuz I’m madly in love with you

“I love you”
Just three little words
That can change someone’s world
It’s not always easy to say though
For some it’s the most difficult
Three little words they will ever say
Because they don’t know if they’ll ever hear it back
And that’s the worst kind of heartbreak
