When Your Well Runs Dry

i know you miss me

that's what they say about your water when your well runs dry

I've got you thirsty 

and all you can do ask is why, why, why?

 

but when a sistah knows she just know

and when its time to go shes gotta go

its now time for the after party

end of the show

 

so you can cry your crocodile tears

and reminisce through all the years

you never thought i'd ever leave

realizing one of your biggest fears

 

and though you may beg

and try to hold on tight

its now the twelfth round...knock out

the end of the fight

 

will i come back?

not even maybe

look in my face i'm for real

its all in the eyes baby

Freeing You, Freeing Me...

when i saw you two together i couldn't move i couldn't think 
it took a very long moment (in sadness) for me to even blink 

every time I've pictured you with someone 
it was always me by your side 
as we pass i fake a smile and say hello keeping my emotions tucked inside 
i wouldn't dare let you see my hurt, i still have a little pride 

my inner voice says 'you're better than her so please don't fret' 
then another voice says 'if that's true then why hasn't he returned yet' 

but i tell myself that it's just not meant to be 
so today is the day i finally set you free 

at last freeing you... 
freeing me...

A Moment of Sadness

a moment of sadness 
is 
like an eternity without you 


the blues lingers forever and ever and ever and EVER 
it 
seems to never go away 


just 
to hold you once again, if even for a second 
would 
give me a lifetime of eternal happiness 


so 
a moment can last a lifetime 


with 
or 
without you 


it can be... 


lingering pleasure 
or 
eternal pain 


either way 

missing you is forever...

Chapters In the Story of Us

kissing you makes me so high 
so does looking deeply into your eyes 

hugging you, touching you, while holding hands 
having eyes for no other man 

then abruptly we are not together 
what we have is no more, ever 

then madness, hatred i can't even stand the sound of your name 
knowing things will never be the same 

and although we speculate and blame on who did whom wrong 
i still try and try to hold on 

all the long wishing i could turn back the hands of time 
then suddenly i discover you belong to some else, no longer mine 

but it doesn't matter because this i know this much is true 
i most definitely know that i can't stop loving you...

The Loneliness

Being without you 
is 
the equivalent of being diagnosed with a fatal condition 
which 
makes each day drag out long and painful as i await my fate 


There is no one to nurse my wounds, no one to comfort me 
nor 
is there anyone to hold or console me, i'm just all alone
 

The loneliness eats away at me like a disease 
and 
the only remedy I know is you 


but 
you are not within my reach 
so 
there will be no cure 

and 
it seems that I shall truly die
