Zaiba

When everything fails, my prayers are my last resort.

Do it unprepared.

Do it in tears.

Do it in pain.

Hate that I caught your eye

Hate that it all got tangled

Hate that fate was never on my side

Hate that I loved you to the point of betraying my pride

If love is to ever find me.

Let it find me at my highest point in life.

At my happiest, at my fullest.

So when it comes to me, I accept it for itself.

Not to fill a void in me, not to be a distraction.

But to be a companion in the journey to completeness.

And if I am meant to walk alone, then free me from this longing.

Help me find fulfilment in my own company.

Keep doing what you’re doing.

Cause something is right!

Things are moving in the direction you prayed for.

So don’t stop believing.

One step at a time.

Not only by strangers passing by.

He showed me the mirror

I couldn’t bear the reflection staring back

Especially people close to you.

Because they, of all people, know exactly what breaks you.

So if they ever hurt you, know that it was a conscious decision.

And Allah will give you more

Start loving more

And Allah will bless you with more loved ones

Start laughing more

And Allah will give you more reasons to smile

Allah is a giver, so ask all you want

When I open my camera roll,

I want to see 1000s of pictures.

Full of travel, love, fun, achievements and passion.

Seeing stories, pictures and posts of others achievements.

And regretting not having one!

Well my love, you have it in you.

The passion you cannot see, the aggression hidden behind your leisure.

The fire burning out.

Don’t wait u till it’s too late.

You can still do it!

But my light is intact

Dimmed by their words

Dimmed by my doubts

And when I am back

Back to myself

With my spark alight

The softness of our voices.

The rhythm of our walk.

The sway of our movements.

The calm demeanour.

The lilac aura.

The dark hair.

The lightened eyes.

The flow of words.

The still poise.

Such delicate frames.

Yet such strong values.

With grace live.
