Everything But Him Poem by Za7ra Sulaiman

she's got everything but him

She had the world at her fingertips,
Wealth, power, and fame within her grasp.
Accolades and adoration, a life of luxury,
Yet, her heart remained empty, unfulfilled, you see.

For amidst all the glittering prizes she had won,
There was one thing she longed for, but could not have done.
The one thing that eluded her, no matter how she tried,
Was the love of the man whose heart she had secretly eyed.

She had everything, except the one thing that mattered most,
The connection, the intimacy, the love she had hoped to boast.
Surrounded by riches, yet her soul remained in want,
Craving the affection that no amount of wealth could flaunt.

She had conquered the world, but her greatest battle was within,
Fighting the yearning for the one who had stolen her heart, her kin.
For in the end, all the accolades and accolades in the world
Could not fill the void left by the love that had not unfurled.

So she sits, alone, amidst her gilded throne,
Realizing that true happiness can never be fully known
Without the one thing she couldn't possess, no matter how she tried -
The love of the man whose heart she had secretly eyed.
