Hard To Understand

An immortal sadness, an eternal loneliness Pretentious happiness and painted smiles A life forcefully lived And a journey made up of mosaic tiles A penny for your thoughts And 2 more rands for your heart You’re my rose without thorns Yet still I suffer at your touch Manipulate me with your charms And once again get your way Promise to come back to my arms And yet another lie it had to stay I’d rather be your fool then a fool to loneliness Even if it means dancing to a rhythm less tune Stupid I remain for your controlling ways Funny how scent lingers with me right through noon Mpho Lebohang Mokhele
