Shay Mohi Poem
Gaslighting
Your words are etched deep into my skin,
They must have hurt, these scars,
But you told me they were beautiful,
And I believed you.
Your accusations have ripped my flesh in,
My brain and heart, are stored in your jars,
But you said I was safe and beautiful,
And I believed you.
I am bones in a cage in a rusty bin,
I have forgotten my dreams, and the stars,
You said they were never beautiful,
And I believed you.
I am dust, in air spread too thin,
I float through the gaps in the bars,
I feel the warmth of a spark within,
The glimmer of hope from afar,
The shimmer of lights that begin
To glow, burn, blaze, char,
You towered over me, so beautiful,
I was so ugly and useless, you see,
But I somehow held onto the choice
To believe not in you, but in me.

Shay Mohi Poem
The silent treatment
Stunned silence,
After that first sweet kiss,
Blissful silence,
Cuddled by love's soft fire,
Angry silence,
Something is amiss,
Endless silence,
Does he not tire?
Screaming in silence,
Breath choked to a hiss,
Shocked silence,
At the funeral pyre.

Shay Mohi Poem
Your lips smile sweetly,
But your eyes are so cold,
Your arms wrap around me,
Like a cage.
Your hand on my cheek,
In a slap so bold,
Your fingers on my neck,
Eyes hot with rage.
My face on your chest,
Suffocated in your hold,
Love binds my heart,
And I cannot disengage.

Shay Mohi Poem
Love pierces the air,
Shatters my view,
I sigh, the sky
Is blue.
The sky is heavy, stormy,
Lightning slices through,
Thunder growls, anger scowls,
I'm blue.
The heaviness in my brain,
Thoughts of you,
Sadness is back, I am black
And blue.
A kiss shared in the storm,
Love that's never true,
Poison sips, my lips
Are blue.
