i stopped writing for the world  
but the ache didn’t stop writing me  
so here i am  
again  
with bleeding fingers  
and softer prayers  

-faye

In the empire of my ribs,  
you are the only ruler.  
No gates, no walls—  
just endless streets  
whispering your name.

-faiza

“You are in every breath I take, every thought I whisper to the stars.”

- faiza

I didn't whisper your name,  
but they heard it in my silence.  
I didn't paint your face,  
but they saw it in my dreams.  
Love, like the moonlight,  
cannot be hidden in the dark.  

- faiza

"And his smile, oh his smile, like a sunrise at the edge of the world, it sent warmth and light through everything and everyone it touched."

-faiza

Carved from stone yet trembling still,
your breathless touch, my heart does fill.
No voice to speak, yet hear me sigh,
as in your arms, I long to die.

Oh, sculpted fate, cruel yet divine,
forever bound, yet never mine.
Your marble cheek, so cold, so fair,
I press my soul, my love laid bare.

Time may steal the softest skin,
but love endures, it burns within.
Though set in stone, my heart will yearn,
forever yours, though none return.
-faiza

I love him like a sunset loves the sky,  
even knowing the night will steal him away.  
Still, I paint my heart in hues of him,  
soft gold, deep crimson—forever his.
