Shannon Nicole Poems

Striking pains
Sharp hiss
Black out
Eyes wide
...

She takes a deep breath,
Inhale then exhale.
She's going to tell a story,
Sit in that chair please,
...

I can feel that there's something wrong,
Because I get that feeling in the pit of my stomach.
It continues it's ways through my body,
Grasping onto my lungs and closing off the airways.
...

Living within your memories
Taking the tears from your eyes
Erasing the thoughts you ever had of me
And breaking all those truths
...

She knows that she was never perfect
She's been lost within your heart
She thinks she should change for that one she loves
She cuts those lines so deep
...

She sways her hips to the beat
She closes her eyes
She lets the music soak in
She listens to every word
...

Lovely winter snow,
Melting on the hot sidewalks.
Children's sad faces shine with delight,
Catching invisible snowflakes on their little pink tongues.
...

There's sixty seconds in a minute,
There's sixty minutes in a hour,
There's twenty-four hours in a day,
There's seven days in a week,
...

With her shining black nails,
She fingered through her straight, black hair.
With her glossy lips,
Her teeth broke the skin.
...

It used to be a day that I hated.
It used to be a day that I'd wish away.
It used to be a day that I'd end up hurt,
Or still feel pain passed that day.
...
