Shanay Love Mar 2014
How standard and usual
A pathetic attraction
Oblivious of two
Ignominious lovers

I crave diligence
While ignorant to the thoughts
and intensions of his mind
Save me, Lord, from destruction
  just this once,
For his heart can match perfectly with mine

How typical and useless
rejecting our relations
despite wanting his effort
to love me, dearly

I crave remembrance
ignorant to the thoughts
and intentions of his mind
Save me, Jesus, from repulsion
  just this once,
For my feelings I can no longer hide

How standard and usual
A pathetic attraction
oblivious of two
Ignominious lovers;
blind in the love shared
for each other
This poem is about two lovers shamed of their attraction because it is hidden and unsaid. The girl in this poem wonders about his feelings while explaining her own .

Her once beautiful
brown skin
is now only
captivating the
negativity ruining
her limited life

Each moment
is once again
shadowed by a
Nightmare
We ever so
Happily label truth

Never would she claim
such a place
rewarding our evilness
with money
to further enhance
our mistakes

This is why
She cant bear
to withstand
a creature so bruised
with cuts and pain
that once was so beautiful
Shanay Love Dec 2013
I refuse to forget...

A woman who was judged
and rewarded false ownership
for they
will never understand
the purpose of your
short presence
like I
When reading this recall a person who is misunderstood: read this poem with sympathy and understanding toward that person, please.
Shanay Love Nov 2013
Days like this,
where sorrow exist,
I want to goto space
Sit upon the moon
admire bright stars
and erase my swolen
remains

Maybe then,
in a place of darkness,
and hope,
I won't feel so alone

I'd drift in space
passing motionless objects,
hoping to find someone
of the same sadness

Maybe then,
in conversation
and story telling,
I won't feel so abandoned
I wrote this poem when I learned a valuable lesson: Sometimes, you can't help but be what people expect.
Shanay Love Nov 2013
Temporarily,
our hands attach
almost refusing to part
Forever, I blush
the moment he looks
claiming me as
the pretty girl
butterflies in my tummy
I adorn the moments
If only they'd last forever
 
Then,
He leaves my sweaty palm
unattended
for the red head
I secretly despise
The butterflies are replaced
with a bitter sadness
as she walks away
with my lover
Shanay Love Nov 2013
If love is perfect
Why do I suffer
My heart only wants his
comfort

two months
I've been single
I finally surrender,
no longer needing loves'
painful affection

I'm desperate, but young
dependent, but strong
and all I want want
is TRUE love
Shanay Love Nov 2013
I could forever
be captivated
by your beautiful
brown eyes

How I dream
of knowing
how good your
lips taste

But holding your hand
we part too soon
I plead more time
but am left unwanted
