Sound

Swish swish,
Thats the sound of my son playing with a stringed toy in my face.
Vrrrrm,
The sound of a vehicle driving past the street under me.
I love the sounds around me.
They put me to sleep wen am angry.

Peep peep
A mad driving coz am crossing the road slowly,
Nkt
The sound of someone irritated.
This city is full of them,
Sounds that say we aren't happy

Bt my favourite sound of all time,
Is my son asleep,
Coz he snores and laughs almost at the same time. And turns when somehow he realizes i was watching.

I am my own worst enemy

I am my own worst enemy
My own tears burn streaks down my face,
I never had to touch my own skin,
But now am scrubbing my own back,
And rubbing my own feet.

I am my own worst enemy,
I can't even give myself advice,
I never make up my mind,
I always make the worst choices,

I am my own worst enemy,
I broke my own heart,
I knew i loved you,
Then walked out and ripped my own heart in two,
I am my worst enemy!!

my rib

this rib i got fits me just right,
just enough wierd to make me just right,
just enough of you to make me your type.

it lets you know my heart before i speak,

it makes you privy to my thoughts before i speak,
it lets you know the kind of things i would like,
it makes you see just what would make things right.

this rib, my blue print at creation,
that's why my feet fit right into yours,
that;s my head comes right under yours,
that's why my hands into yours,
and that's why am all yours

2weeks

Its been two weeks without you,
I have learnt to take it now,
You will always have business trips,
You will always leave me for weeks,

I can't say i miss you anymore,
I have learnt to get over it,
Am used to not hearing your voice,
Am used to not hearing you laugh at my jokes,

Two weeks is long enough for things to change.
Am still your baby thats true,
But for two weeks i can't miss you everyday

Cut it off

If your arm itchy and restless about something not yours
If your eye peeking and unhappy about your life
If your tongue spews out words you don't mean to say
Cut it off and be without it anymore.
What good is a body part you cannot control

If your lover strays and makes you get aids
If your friend stabs you right in the back
If your brother takes away what is rightfully yours
Cut him off and be without him anymore
What good is someone that takes away from your joy

I had you on my mind

I had you on my mind all afternoon
Sitting in class staring blankly at the blackboard
I thought about you
I wondered what you might be up to
I thought about who might be with you

I had you on my mind all night
I lay in bed thinking of you
I thought that you'd probably still be at your desk

I had you on my mind when i fell asleep
In my dreams i saw you
Sleeping in my bed next to you
Turning to the smell of you

I had you on my mind this morning
Feels like i spent all day with you
Day dreaming about you all afternoon
Sleeping next to you in my dreams
I had you on my mind...

When you're gone

While you are here i want none of you
While you are here i can't bare to look at you
While you are here i am always mad at you

Absence does make the heart grow fonder,
I miss you since i know you left
Today i have you on my screen saver

What is it about love that turns people into mash
I used to be able to be mad for days
Now i can never keep it up for an hour
Leave me,let me be
Let me return to who i used to be
