Almost Lover...


Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy for you
To walk right in and out of my life?

These are lyrics to song by A Fine Frenzy called...you guessed it...Almost Lover.
I hate the way songs have a way of rubbing stuff in. I always feel like calling her when i listen to this song. As if that would change anything. In fact now I've shibad...sasa now so what?!

Word...

Spoken word...but my words are not spoken
They are just but a small piece...if you like...a token
Fragments of evidence of a heart once broken
Cause and effect...MiKa...this persona was awoken
Loathe...hate...bitterness...emotions interwoven
Often mistaken for what they are not...golden
Word!

Spoken word...but my words are not spoken...they're written
A reminder of the past...of her...damn I was smitten
Most people complain about Cupid's arrow...shut up!...I was bitten
Then spat out like a fur ball by a cat called Mittens
Word!

Spoken word...but my words are not spoken...they're lame
Mainly because the rhyme after every sentence is just that...the same
Predictable...constant repetition...like my life...and Im the only one I can blame
I could go on forever with this one like Tetris...you know...the game
Ama naweza kuongea kuhusu huyo dame
Possibly even tell you her name
But I wont...I cant...Im like a dog on a tight leash...you guessed it...tamed
Word!

Im Tired...

Things used to be well and dandy when we were together. You guys used to say we are inseparable...
Where is she? Ask Melvin...
How's Melvin? Ask her...
When it was home time there was no doubt where we were going...and you guys never bothered to ask. Then came the separation...yeah it was rough for a while and there were the random awkward moments. But a year passed and still the same random moments....and this time they have nothing to do with me or her...its just you people...yeah you people!!!
Im tired
As in its over....finished. You dont have to stop talking about her when I walk in. That pisses me off like crazy...Ive shibad that vibe infact. You think you are trying not to be insensitive but please....let it go...you arent helping anything! You are probably the reason I took so long to get over her...
Im tired
If me and her are okay with things then what the fish is your problem??? You are the one who makes things uncomfortable between us. But one good thing has come out of this...I've perfected the art of acting like I dont care to the point that sometimes I actually dont!
Now comes the next problem...
Just when Im done with most of this vibe another girl enters the picture
Im tired...
