Analysis of Broken Intent
Shaffina Mohammed 1989 (Sangre Grande)
Moistened lips she rapidly bite
Accompanied by cold hands
Her wavering mind clouded by doubt
As if to pass time.
Every waking moment she ponder
To unearth a decision kept
Through her charm of being a loner
Your opinion is but stealth
A crucial blow she once sustained
Amidst a love affair
A vivid love like no other
Only to conquer despair
Her partner seemed so lost to say
An victory seem to flow one way
On quicksand Her efforts lay
She knew their union has gone to clay
Like Phoenix from ashes she arose
Assured memory she gained
Tough plight an pain she knows
Her future is hers to endure.
