The Pain
Shani Apr 2016
When you look at me what do you see?
Do you see the sorrows that I feel, do you think they're just temporary?
You must be an extreme visionary,
To use your imagination to assume our issues will be resolved without even talking, without even questioning
The frustration in me still resides and do not disappear, by any reckoning
Talk about it, be about it, what matters is consistency
Im sure with half the things i say you feel as though i'm a hypocrite, i just never feel like you are listening to me
A man can be be deaf and blind
And can still open his mind
And see what's in front of him and think for a second
That “ i may be taking everything for granted “
Escaping life with an “addiction”
Escaping us, the end, would be anyone's prediction

Twinkles
Shani Feb 2018
I want to stare into your eyes
and connect like the twinkles in the night sky
I feel your pull and let go
Gaining the ability to go with the flow
Whichever way you want me
However you want me
Falling in love with you came at me like a tidal wave and I wasn’t ready
Maybe we should take this slow and steady
All I’ve been through
Created a me that was built for you
Can you be my calm at the end of the day
My peace of mind and tell me that it’s going to be okay?

— The End —
