Déjà vu

Life’s tough And it’s getting rough Without you around I thought we were bound Together with love Like a hand in a glove But now you’re far And I’m at a bar With all these tears Withholding the fears The love is so sheer But it’s quick to appear I want you back Dressed up in black Cause you put me in awe Challenging the law Of no love Like a dove For fear of getting hurt With a slight little flirt ~ Shezlin Dinesh. 

Consent

I’m siting here drunk On this dark and lonely night Wishing you were here To help me with my plight Where were you When I needed you? Where were you When someone else touched my body? Where were you When I felt like I was being choked to death? I’m sorry to say But I really wish it were someone else Instead of me I wish I weren’t the one Who had a strangers hands All over my body I wish I weren’t the one For, if I weren’t, I wouldn’t jump at the touch of a friend And I wouldn’t flinch every time I saw his face Honestly, what do guys not understand about consent? What is so pleasing about leaving a dent? If only I weren’t so spent, Would he have been a true gent Now, all I do is vent Even though he says that’s not what he meant All he needed was my consent All he needed was my consent ~ Shezlin Dinesh
