love: after-storm reflections
I’ve always been bothered to see
How reality has been passing me
I feel like time be passing through my fingertips
One day is out, next day I’m getting older
I hate to see the things that I’ve grown to acknowledge
I be giving them my signs but no one will ever bother
I be showing them my smile
Never show my tearful face
They be texting me their face back
Something I can’t understand
Well, I’m the emotional type
One that takes her time to move out
of feelings that once took me a lifetime to build
But sadly didn’t stand the pressure from the ambition
I’m hard to get with, I feel no one would ever understand me
Just how needy and lonely I get,
see sometimes I can barely withstand me
I’m expecting your kind understanding
Cuz you remind me of creature unearthly
Our connection is more than just earthly
we’ve just grown to throw ourselves some tantrums
I’m loving the way you get me
I’m loving the way you save me
I’m hating each time I be crazy
Can’t respect those feelings unearthly
But I mean them
And you mean them
Guess it matters
Though it hurts bad
I swear I be thinking of only the good times
I will try to acknowledge the good vibes
And I wish I could finally smile
See the world from the pink shades of mine
And I wish I could finally listen
To your voice a bit damaged from messenger
The connection was lost again, dammit
Scream on top of my lungs, hopeless crying
Tryna outscream each other, be thinking
That will fix the broken network
And it will never change, I hate it
Even when I’m begging you to get me
Even when I be quiet for days and
They be texting me if I’m okay
I hate to see you go
I hate to see you scream at me
I hate to hear you cry
Cuz I know that you’re the heart I need right now
And now I’m alone
Lying on my bed
Pillow face to face
Convo out of place
Last time I screamed at you
You screamed at me
Hollered like we never see again
But here we are again
Could we ever be good to each other ?
Could we ever try to stop this fire?
I’m sure we’ll ever be good to each other ?
I’m sure we’ll have to try to stop this lovin.
