XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

She/Her… “I’m only human.” Hopelessly romantic and poetically rejected 💘 (You should go follow: Mialoo, Hollow Oaks, M., Your Local Crayon 🖍️ & MusefulHeart🫀) I typically write depressing poetry 🤪 and I am forever interested in nature photography.

His Laughter

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

1 min read

[the simile in the first stanza, referring to ‘wine’ has nothing to do with anything in real life. I promise, to those who know my age or the basic basis of my age, I have not and will not underage dr!nk. Just getting that clear because after I reread this, I noticed that someone might take that the wrong way.]

His laughter was my sunshine,

the reason I tried so hard.

I was never really funny,...

I’ve Always

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

1 min read

I’ve always crushed on guys a little too easily,

but I don’t want to do that.

I’ve always had fleeting feelings for guys,

but I don’t want to have those.

I’ve always seen the best in every single person,

but I don’t want to see it.

I’ve always been a little too indecisive in types,

but I don’t want to be.

I’ve always been a little too book-invested,

but I don’t want to change.

I’ve always kep...

World Will Burn

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

1 min read

The world will burn,

because she had fire in her eyes.

Trust me when I say,

the woman is absolutely terrifying.

Don’t get on her nerves,

especially not on her bad side.

Trust me when I say,

the lady is absolutely terrifying.

The only way to help,

is to stay far away, to the right,

Trust me when I say,

the girl gone woman is terrifying.

The woman, the terror,

I upset her to a degree.

I won’t com...

Fire, Flames, Water & Waves

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

1 min read

I was the fire, but you were the flames.

I burned until they extinguished me,

but you managed to stay, remain.

You were the water, but I was the waves,

your plans were the winds, the Moon,

I depended on them, needed them, craved-

You were the air, but I was the wind,

I was strong, but you were well-needed,

they had lungs for you, but for me, broken skin.

I was the fire, but you were the flames,...

Hearts Don’t Break

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

1 min read

Hearts don’t break.

They beat, pulse, keep you alive.

They give oxygen, blood, not mental pains.

Hearts don’t break, they don’t sprain,

they don’t shatter or scold or snap.

They keep you alive, beating and breathing.

Hearts don’t break.

They work in harmony with other organs

to keep the body healthy, alive.

They speed up in beat, when you skydive,

and when you see a certain someone.

Hearts don’t ...

Echoes Of Pain

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

1 min read

[related collection of haikus, mainly just focused on the “trust” thing.]

I hate learning to trust,

the echoes of pain remain.

I’m lost to my mistrust.

Throw a rock at me,

I only hear the echoes.

Why teach me to trust?

I hate learning to trust,

but I was forced to learn.

It hurts, doesn’t it?

I’m lost to my mistrust,

I only hear the echoes

of the trust you gave.

The echoes of pain,

Caché de la Vue

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

1 min read

If I talked to someone in French,

_ils ne me comprendraient pas_.

I’m not sure I would either, though.

I’m just a dull player on the bench,

and I’m the rain compared to snow.

No one bats a single eye at me,

unless their intentions are to judge.

I’m invisible, like I’m _caché de la vue._

No one will look, even if I scream_._

I’m only parchment, with its ink smudged,

no one bats a single eye at me,...

Simply Gone

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

1 min read

If I was dead, I’d be simply gone.

I wouldn’t be quite missed or loved and lost,

I’m sure they’ll only think of the costs,

of me lying on my deathbed,

the musician in me wants a song,

but I know I don’t have far too long.

A poem will suffice because a mark will be left.

Just remember, I’m a soul only wrecked,

a soul no one would bother to stoop,

a soul no one would bother to create yet another Dea...

I’d Be Your Demon, I’d Be Your Angel

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

1 min read

[inspired by Invisible Poetry’s poem: “Songs Of Damnation.” Mainly based on the last two lines, because this kind of spirals into the opposite of what Invisible’s poem was about.]

—————————————————————

I told myself I’d be your demon,

if you were to call yourself hell.

And if you decided to be heaven,

I’d choose to be your angel as well.

If I were to be your family waiting for you,

I only hope ...
