Rashida Dp Poem
Will things ever go back to the way they were?
I took for granted those smiles, those laughs
and now I don’t see them anymore.
How do I undo what’s already done?
Did I let go of your hand somewhere along the way,
or were you gone before I even knew?
Your voice sounds different now
does it mean you’ve fallen out of love?
You used to give me sweet reminders,
now it’s warnings in their place.
Maybe I pushed you too far,
so far you can’t see me anymore.
And why does it hurt this much
that we can sit through the whole ride home
without saying a word?

Rashida Dp Poem
I love you.
More than anything I’ve ever known,
More than I can hold inside these quiet bones.
Each second of the day,
You live in my mind like breath
But sometimes I forget…
You’re not me.
You’re your own being,
And I want all of you,
Everything you are,
Even the parts that don’t belong to me.
You say you admire beauty
You notice, you look
But my eyes stopped working
For anyone but you.
We’ve been married a long time.
Yet still,
Ten years in,
Your footsteps at the door
Make my heart race like I’m sixteen again.
I see beauty in everything you do.
It terrifies me.
Because what if I love you more than you love me?
What if one day,
You see someone else’s glow
And mine feels… dim?
You’ve shown me love
So much love.
But fear is louder than logic
When love runs this deep.
How do I unlove you,
Even for a second
Just enough to breathe?
I feel like I’ve fallen into a well,
And instead of climbing out,
I just keep sinking.
And every time I look at you,
I drown a little more.
Tell me…
What do I do
With a love this heavy,
This pure,
This haunting?

Rashida Dp Poem
Bader means full moon in Arabic,
but to me,
your name carries more than light
it holds the weight of my world.
My life revolves around you,
and I don’t remember
what joy felt like before you.
I pray to God each night,
quietly, endlessly,
that He grants you success in this
dunya because my love for you
means your happiness is mine.
Do you love me the way I love you?
I whisper that question
between my du’as,
begging that our love
never fades,
no matter how time moves.
I thank God each day
for the children He gave us,
living proof of our love.
Their laughter is the echo
of everything we’ve built together.
But you’re only a man,
and I’m just a woman.
One day,
my beauty will fade and slip away..
will your love remain
when time has its way with me?
God gave you permission
to marry more than one,
but is your love for me
strong enough
to hold back from what’s allowed
because it would shatter me?
I know we can’t see the future,
but this thought..
it stays with me.
Not out of doubt,
but because I love you
so deeply,
even my overthinking aches.

Rashida Dp Poem
Today I learned
that being me
always here for you,
always yours in intimacy
was never enough.
I did not give you
the peace your soul was searching for.
It shatters my heart…
how did we come to this?
I learned today
you were looking for comfort
in someone else’s words,
and all this time
I thought I was your world.
Have I taken you for granted?
Was it my fault all along?
I gave everything I had,
but maybe I was giving
all the wrong things.
I love you so deeply
that sometimes I wonder…
If I can’t make you happy,
maybe I should let you go.
Maybe if I were with someone
I didn’t love,
I wouldn’t weigh on his soul.
And you..
you’d be with someone
who doesn’t love you like I do,
but maybe
she’d give you peace.
And then…
we would both have peace.
But would I ever be happy?
If I found peace
and you found peace…
does that truly
mean happiness?

Rashida Dp Poem
Am I too late to fix things?
Have I lost you?
Have you fallen out of love?
Is this what God has written for us?
Am I the only one to blame?
I have so many questions
but I truly thought I gave everything.
How will I move on
if I ever let you go?
I can’t live knowing
you longed for someone else,
or even dreamed
of finding peace in her arms.
Did I push you so far away?
I had no idea this was happening,
or maybe I was too blind
with all the love you gave me.
My heart feels shattered,
it wants to die.
It would rather die
than not have you.
You told me
this wasn’t love, but obsession.
If that’s true,
why did I, at some point,
wish you’d find happiness
even if it wasn’t with me
because I believed
I was your misery?
How did we come to this, my love?
We were each other’s world.
You were my full moon.

Rashida Dp Poem
You told me it wasn’t too late
that I could still mend the cracks.
But it feels like I’ve been losing you
long before the truth escaped your lips.
Only God is my ally now,
and to Him I surrender everything,
so I can have your love
back again.
How did I become your misery?
How did my words turn empty?
How did I become… this?
All I wished
was to be your everything,
but it turns out
I was never enough.
You never found
what you needed the most.
If I disappeared in this lifetime,
maybe it would be better
so I’d only be
a memory,
and not your misery.
