Unmasked - Imani Muhammad

I try to write about things other than love
Trying to stay away from love
I’m still looking for someone to ignite that true passion that is locked within me
Holding back unshed tears from heartbreaks past
While I keep reminding myself of the lesson from each relationship
Because if I let the tears fall they would begin to heal a wounded heart
I can’t take the pain from the love that I gave that was misused and ill placed
I should cry
I know I should cry
But I can’t take anymore unbearable pain
So, I throw up shields or should I say facades that mask the pain
Then I met you and became consumed with your energy of visions and dreams that confused me
And then you perplexed me more by referring to me as ‘your like my better half ‘
We just met and yet I feel in tune and locked to your rhythm
Your rhythm of energy
Now finding myself helping to heal your hurt soul
But in dreams years ago
I

SAW

YOU

Or at least I think
Feeling connected and at one with you
Opening up my wounds and facades
Loving how you call me Queen
Unmasking the pain
Healing the wounds with salted tears
