Every time I think I wanna go back I remember how I was mistreated
How I felt defeated
I read the text messages I should have deleted
I keep them to remember that I deserve better
Not sure why you were intimidated by a go getter
How can I forget the days I use to love you
Now Im not so easily moved
Those feelings are gone
Disappeared out of the blue
I'm so much happier now
No more lady sings the blues
They always come back
They never break up with you
I can't go back
It would be like eating vomit off the bottom of my shoes
That's just how I see it
A lifetime of struggle and misery
Glad I made it over
The past is the past its called history ~SJ

Dream Team by Author Shana Jay
If we both would get it together we would be unstoppable
Like Jay Z and Beyonce?
No, like Barack and Michelle
A power team
A force to be reckoned with
We would support each others dreams
Build our legacy on a firm foundation
No quick sand mentality
Its in our lineage commitment
Adam and Eve
Abraham and Sarah
Jacob and Rachel
Mary and Joseph
Ruth and Boaz
There were some ups and downs
Some obstacles too serious to overlook but there was still some common ground
I believe in loyalty thats our oath our creed
Its hard work but together we can make it through
I’ll work on me
While you work on you~SJ

Love Dont Live Here by Author Shana Jay
Where did those feelings go?
I search deep only to realize they have left me
Released without my consent
Those words so harsh maybe I should repent
Its not the same when we fuck
It use to make sense like Olivia and Huck
Even though it wasn't said often you could feel the love
That I would kill for you kind of love
That Im in it for the long haul kind of love
I’ll have all your babies kind of love
Rushing home to get to you kind of love
Clean up my house and cook for you kind of love
When my phone rings hoping its you kind of love
Now I hold the keys to a vacant part of me
Im very comfortable with the idea of being alone
I really should write a song
If love ever came to visit it wouldnt be the same
I would say go back the way you came
Im now able to see through all the bullshit
Love was about to get my ass whipped
Talking crazy instead of speaking words that would build
Pointing fingers, debating hard then forgetting the topic
Cant enjoy the gifts of love for reliving the pain
Love is hard work but I was putting in over time even in the rain
Tired of needing and seeking approval from someone who couldn’t handle my popularity
Just another casualty
Playing games but you’re too old for this, its too much
Not caring about feelings anymore
Treating you like shit, pushing the limits cause now I dont give a fuck
Why play games when there should be no doubt there should be no fear
Afraid .....head games will keep you bound if you let it my dear
Cold as ice and Im comfortable with it
I hurt your feelings and now you wanna throw a fit
One plus one equals two
No one else matters in your equation but you
Said I was over it but Im still in my feelings
Writing and fighting my demons thats what I do
Done trying to win
Sometimes you have to lose to win
But what exactly was lost
Nothing but sleepless nights .....my mind and body paid the cost
Find another opponent cause Im through
Im tired of being that chic hoping you will change crying over you~SJ

Draking and Shit by Author Shana Jay
Draking and shit
On some other shit
Letting this one nigga get over on me and shit
That fuck me and leave me left in the cold kinda shit
How many hoes I got to see parked in his drive way
How many times I got to drive by and he aint there and shit
He think Im stupid and shit and sometimes Im in denial and shit
He was just suppose to be something to do
Someone to pass time when I got bored and shit
Fucked up how I fell in love and shit
Realizing eventually he was on playing mind games and shit
Yes he still with that shit
He want his cake and eat it too
Never thought I would be this stupid and shit
Eventually I will forgive myself
Recover the broken pieces, glue them back together and shit
Its so easy for him to cut ties and shit
I realize those are just words and shit
We are both crazy and that causes so much conflict
I hate him but I love him at the same time and shit
He knows that I will always be there for him and shit
Addicted to his dick and how he stroke me and shit
My folks tell me to use him for a good time cause he aint tryna commit
Wonder why hurt people hurt people instead of dealing with their own personal shit
He always comes back and sometimes I cant believe that shit
I deserve better and I know that shit
I always take him back after he does dumb shit
After I said thats it
I dont take him seriously cause he does the same thing and shit
Mad cause I can read him and shit
Bicker thats all we do and shit
I remember when he use to love me
Now he just up and quit
Just like that and he made it look so easy to do
Now I sit back hurt, feeling pathetic and looking like a fool
Knowing he is reading my words and shit
Giving him something to think about and shit
He wondering if anybody knows who he is...that vain shit
I stop caring, my words are done giving power to him and shit
And just like that Im over it ~SJ

In love or in comfort??
No one wants to abort
Martin and Gina
Bobby and Whitney
That crazy love ...he doesn't really get me
I laugh out loud at all of my dramatics
He be like this crazy motherfucka right here ..shit ...gatdammit
Looking to be tamed
Pull me by my mane
Tell me this aint what we gonna do
I love you but you need to calm down boo
You run your house but you wont run me
You can be free but you will respect me
I balance you
You balance me
We are the reflection of prosperity
I know you're stubborn but overall you have so many great qualities
Just listen ...I have something to say
My wisdom will help guide you on your way
I want to see you grow
I desire you to get over the mistakes you have made
You know what ............I need to hear him say all of these things
Im looking to be put in my place
Where is my place?
Only he knows
Until he realizes it .....anything goes
Im listening for that tone
Those words that say ........I am the man..you are the woman ..
Baby I love you now stay in your lane
All this extra shit I refuse to entertain it
I got this, respect this, make love to this, reflect on this
Im waiting.......
Waiting Patiently to be put in check

From Conception to Birth By Author Shana Jay
I protect those who are dear to me and he is dear to me
So dear to my heart that I would fight for him
He’s my light when the world goes dim
He is worth the effort
I have the faith
I clean his glasses and wash his cape
My personal superhero
Clark Kent and Lois Lane
We are healing together
We hold hands in the rain
We weather the storm together
He is the real number in a calculated equation of my forever
We are far from Bonnie and Clyde
That dysfunctional romance is so cliche
Romeo and Juliet ....I laugh cause compared to us that’s childs play
Even though we have our moments we wont allow the sun to go down on our wrath
We see things differently but we are headed down the same path
Our communication is effective
He is my hardset course but his lessons have directive
When you’re in love you take the chance of getting hurt
Its not intentional but most relationships have a little dirt
From conception to birth
He fertilizes my embryo of thoughts
Pregnant with abstract ideas of us
Giving birth to a world of trust
The demonstrative side of me a mere hyperbole
Evoking the emotions of intensity sowing a seed
I want more of him ......greed
My words are about him ......read
He believes in me ........succeed
My heart is his .......bleed
Let it flow .......and just be ~SJ

My Muse By Author Shana Jay
There is someone in my life that has made such a major impact and I don't think he knows. I'm not the easiest person to love yet this person loves me unconditionally. Not sure how I would manage without his wisdom. His words bring life to what was once dead and forgotten. When I find it hard to move forward he gives me the push and motivation I need to keep going. Through my tears he accepts my vulnerability never taking advantage of my fragile state. He is the mirror that reflects the good, bad, and the ugly. He holds me accountable for my actions.
He loves me enough to take the risk of helping to repair the damages from past in order for me to become a better person. This process can be frustrating and instead of him taking the easy route and walking away he holds my hand through the journey. His words can be bittersweet because no one really wants to hear the truth about themselves. What kind of person would he be if he told me everything that I wanted hear. How is it possible to grow if I didnt get the nourishment I needed which is what he provides to my soul. I welcome his feedback. I seek his approval.
I have met alot of people in my lifetime but no one like him. He doesnt know how much I admire his strength and his patience. The characteristics that he holds balance the tidal waves of emotions that drive me to make irrational decisions. He is my Mr. Miyagi keeping me in line when I show signs of immaturity and only child syndrome blues. He is my muse. He gives me inspiration and new ideas. He pushes me to think critically and I know I grow a new brain-cell or two just listening to the thoughts inside of his head. I could go on and on but I just feel that he needed to read these words and know that his living is not in vain. He needed to know that regardless of our disagreements he does it for me.
We are not meant to get along 100% of time. Our differences add spice to both of our lives and continues to keep that fire burning between us. I am honored to have a friend like him in my life. Someone who believes in me. Someone to share my dreams with. Someone who sees the potential in me. Someone who holds my heart in his hands. In my book he is a beautiful specimen of a man. To him I am grateful. ~Sj

Lost by Author Shana Jay
Watch as I make love to paper with my words
Love was conceived through ink adopting metaphors
Opening doors in a mansion of my thoughts
Corridors leading to unoccupied rooms that have yet to be discovered
Empty .....waiting on that special one to make my house a home
I sit back watching, moving mountains in my mind
Alone as I make vital decisions from my throne
Forged in his image force to feel his pain
My crown filled with thorns
Onlookers who frown and continue to hold me in contempt
But they forget that by his blood I am exempt
Its all politics I suppose
Surrounded by women who capitalize on being called Bitches and Hoes
Its not the shoes nor is it the clothes its the person who holds the pose
Entangled by words that hold no meaning
High off of pipe-dreams so it seems
Those who dont want to lose but desire to be redeemed
A grown man’s Queen
Im sired to my King
No matter how bad I want to run away
His gentle voice causes me to stay
Fear of the unknown, my cover has been blown
Not sure what my next move should be in this game of chess
Checkmate I dont know my fate
I have too much on my plate
I just no he pleads with me to trust him....relax....and wait
Lost, in an unknown place ~SJ

Relax By Author Shana Jay
Relax? Not sure what that means
Maybe if I dont speak it then I wont have to accept it
Knowing that I’m not ready
Knowing that the pressure I apply to the next is quite unfair
Afraid that if I get too deep in it I could mess things up for both parties
I dont want our worlds to be dismantled by titles but I really desire it
Scared that the label will cause conflict but I want it
Im there in my heart but my mind is telling me to relax
Think twice ......
Friends say girl walk away no need to wait
Society says I am the prize
Steve Harvey says act like a lady think like a man
If you pay close attention you would see that Im terrified
I have to face my fear of rejection
I have to allow the sands of time to build and relax my strong will
I dont want to be a fool making decisions off what things look like
Suppressing my gift in order not to stir up the pot of controversy between us
Becoming someone that I dont recognize
Afraid to write how I feel because Im afraid of the damage it may or may not do
I have mastered the art of holding back but I cant seem to relax
My insecurities ....Ive learned to keep them subdued
Its hard being me but easy to love you
Relax, you do remember that last anxiety attack?
Be anxious for nothing but Im losing control
Im holding my breath I need to exhale
Turning blue in the face hoping that your words wont disappoint
If only you could see what that does to me you would be crushed
Like a child waiting in the window dressed for her daddy to arrive .
Only to realize he will never come
Yet she is still hopeful giving him chance after chance to redeem himself
but he never comes through
Relax ...thats what daddy issues will do to you ~SJ

kənˈfyo͞oZHən by Author Shana Jay
Walk away cause I know it wont stop
Scared ... He has my heart
Walk away that’s the hard part
The control freak in me hates defeat
Its cold out here in these streets
Looking out the window for an opportunity
My stubbornness worse than the Republicans
I refuse to budge
I just want what I want
Dont think he wants to face the truth
Trying to enjoy my youth
Friends tired of hearing my episodes
They just reach for a mirror
Look at the reflection
You need to work on you
Tears mixed with my fears
What are we doing?
Its not clear
Denial has shifted gears
Its right there but I would rather remain blind
I see the signs
Im trying ~SJ

A Man In Love By Author Shana Jay
When a man is in love he will go to great lengths
He will sacrifice
He will make her his life
He will believe in her dreams
With him its not about material things
Its about the consistent joy she brings
When he’s in love his actions will balance his words
When he speaks to her he knows he will be heard
When a man is in love know that its deep
He will adore her, kiss her on her cheek, watch her while she sleeps
He will pray that God covers their union, wards off confusion, and keep things real not an illusion
When a man is in love there is nothing he wont do for her
No more games, no facades
When he looks at her he will see his future in her eyes
She will see the King arise the legacy that will never die
When a man is in love the passion will always exist
He will always want her by his side .....
I’m so glad to have true love like this ~SJ

The Experience by Author Shana Jay
Just give me your smile
Your easy conversation
The wisdom that holds my attention
As long as I’m with you I’m cool
Give me your undying love
Your dedication and support
I'm in this for the long haul I wont abort
If you want me in your heart there I will stay
Just don't give my love away
To God I pray that my insecurities wont get in the way
One day at a time
You're always on my mind
Dedicated to my grind and you
There is no other love for me
An epiphany of the truth ~SJ

Love of My Own By Author Shana Jay
I want a love of my own
The dating game Ive finally realized is not where I belong
I want that new love feeling again someone to give me a fresh wind
No more games the latest trend
I don’t want to be single forever seeking temporary pleasure
I want to come home to someone who finds joy in being with me and only me
A companion to share my secrets with judgment free
Selfish love Ive had that
The abusive love you can have that back
Someone else’s love got me off track
In fact I just want a love of my own
Flowers, candle lit dinners, those are some beginners
Evening walks in the park, thats a winner
Im searching for something real
I need someone to revive that love so we can build
I need to find my rock and shield
Someone who’s not ashamed to reveal how they feel
It wont be a guessing game nor will it be pretend
He will be my lover, my teacher, my friend
My beginning and my end
My heart is open want you come in?
I want a love of my own
Not half way or someone who’s only intent is to bone
Someone who isnt afraid to pick up the phone when he hears our song
Someone who’s not afraid to take a risk
I want a love like this
A love of my own ~SJ

If You Love Me By Author Shana Jay
But if you love me then tell me so
I dont want to be compared to the next heaux
Do you see me?
Do you know what you have?
But if you love me your actions would reflect this
I love you more than you love me
It no longer bothers me like it use too
Stone for stone Im so tired of it
We’re grown and I know your heart
The games that we have both played I’m passed that
A new year is fastly approaching I’m done with the make believe
But if you love me you will learn to let things go
But if you love me you wouldn’t be afraid to let your true feelings show
You would be able to express how you feel
Its ok to be vulnerable I can respect whats real
I pour out my emotions to you
I show you all of me
But if you love me you would see
I dont come with a remote so stop trying to control me
Im not your puppet, no strings, no stage
But if you love me you would allow me to be free
The things that made me love you are now pushing me away
I cry out to you but you dont have an ear to hear
Or maybe you do but youre entangled in so much fear
Do you know you mean the world to me
But if you love me you would know
If you love me you would stop fighting the feeling so we could both grow
I’m tired but through it all I still love you
But
But if
But if you
But if you love me
But if you love me you would see my love for you through my poetry
My heart is crying out to you
My soul is reaching out to you
But if you love me like you say you do you would end the feud
If you loved me you wouldn’t treat me the way that you do
But thats if you love me like you say you do
But I will forever love my soulmate, my inspiration, my muse ~SJ

Ties That Bind by Author Shana Jay
No matter near or far you will always have my heart
Our connection is so strong I can feel your vibe in a room full of people
No one will completely understand our story
Every subject line, Every verb, Every rhyme its ours till the end of time
Not sure what I would do without your smile, your touch, your brilliant mind
I find it hard to breathe when you're not with me
The one who believes and wants nothing but to see me succeed
My muse, My Genesis the beginning and end, a perfect Revelation
With you I am the best I can be
Without you my life is a total catastrophe
You are the equal balance that reflects the light inside
I shine brighter when you’re around
If I had to chose I would do it allover again
Like Summer meets Spring you are my everything
Winter when we dont see eye to eye
You help me navigate through tough times
You still see beauty through the tears I cry
My horizon separating the earth from the sky
You are the reason why I fight harder
You give me a reason to try
My rising sun the phoenix of the rising moon
I paint a picture of our union on the black sands
You and I hand in hand
I am your woman
You are undoubtedly my man
My biggest fan
You are the candle I am the wick
You will always be my first pick
My favorite number one hit
My fire and desire
You complete me
You breathe life back into my soul
You are my everything
You make me whole ~SJ
