She Just Wanna Love Him

The clock on his wall falls behind the hour
cause in his life - the timings all wrong
and in his mind - desires swing strong
for a feeling unyielding
a love unshielidng
a touch not bending to the laws of physics
he's physically and visibly lonely...see
all things lawful ain't beneficial
and all things pretty ain't superficial
just initial.
he's got to go beyond the shiny surface
the smile that's nervous
define the purpose
and rationalize its existence
freak persisitence
the early bird gets the worm
and he ain't moving fast enough
he can't give his past enough room to die gracefully
heart to heal faithfully
her to shine tastefully
cause she just wanna love him
but the second hand won't keep the beat
lonely man won't move his feet
doomed to repeat
a loveless life running behind the time...
...it's half past hello
and a quarter till goodbye
and he still can't figure out why he's alone.

Stupid

it's amazing how you can make me feel soo special and soo stupid

at the same time

and how i can put i love you and i hate you in the same rhyme

and not be lying

or even tryin to win the crowd over

or get em' hyped

see, this is just my life

and the reason i write

s to express how i feel

and right now...right now, i'm ill

with the worst case of free will possible

see it's possible that i

chose to make that trip to see you

even tho it wasn't smart

and i chose to let you continue to speak

tho words you spoke pierced my heart

and i chose to pick up the phone to call

but i swear i didn't choose to fall

in love

i...wasn't suppose to fall...in love

cause in love, is where hurt resides

and in love, is where pain subsides

and in love, is where tears are cried

so maybe i lied when i said i could forget the things that happened that day

and maybe i lied when i said i could forget the things i heard you say

but its not that easy to forget the way

you looked as tho you wanted me to stay

land i know i wanted you to stay

but we both knew we couldn't stay

so no matter how much i try to pretend

i...am not...ok

cause i fully understand now that

i love you

and you love me

but you love her

and i ain't her

so we can't beand since i see

so clearly

why can't i see my way out of this foggy situation

and if i'm so smart, where is all my education

cause no matter how many times i compute the equation

one plus one plus one don't equal happy

it equal hopeless

so unless one drop out the picture

three is a crowd

and i'm not about kissing faces...in secret places...worried about leaving traces

i'm about honesty

and honestly

it's amazing to me how you can make me feel

soo special and soo stupid at the same time

and how i can put i love you and i hate you in the same rhyme

and not be lying

or even tryin to win the crowd over

or get em' hyped

see, this is just my life

and the reason i write

is to express how i feel and right now...right now, i'm ill

with the worst case of i'd kill

to be anywhere else but here right now

and i'd steal to be anyone else but me right now

cause right now, i'm confused

and i can't blame it all on you

but next to me on the wall of shame

you know its got to be your name

cause i ain't get here by myself

see i ain't send gifts to myself

and i ain't make my own self smile

and my own numbers i ain't dial

i wasn't holding my own hand

and i ain't act like my own man

and i fo sure ain't kiss myself

so if blame is like money i'm sharing the wealth

cause i'm rich with it

and i'm sick of it

and like baby fat i'm thick with it

i know i was wrong, i see my fault

and i've learned my lesson, consider me taught

but will...i...apply it

and when you tell me i love you will i deny it

or like the bum who finds change, will i just buy it

cause drama-free love ain't exactly in my diet

how can you stand there and make me feel soo special and soo stupid

at the same time

special cause you treat me like i'm yours

and stupid cause i know you ain't mine

special cause you catch all my tears

but stupid cause you're the reason i cry

special cause i know you really care

but stupid cause i know they'll come a time

when all your love for me and all you've done for me

will amount to me

writing 'congratulations on your engagement'

in a card that i don't want to send

from a heart that i don't want to mend

from a love that i don't want to end

but because you're my friend

i'd want nothing else but to see you happy

and if she makes you happy

why...am i...not happy?

so now every time you talk to me

i feel a lil' less special...and a lil' more stupid

and now every time you smile at me

i feel a lil' less special...and a lil' more stupid

and now every time you look at me

i feel a lil' less special...and a lil' more stupid

until one day, no matter what it is you do, i'm gonna feel

no special...and all stupid

i'm gonna feel

no special...and all stupid

but until that day comes,

i'm just gonna have to be stupid

cause its' stupid to love you

...but i do.

Fallen Star

She once was a star, but she’s fallen

- Star
She fell so far, she fell so deep
She couldn’t see where she was going,
Poor star,
Never knowing
the consequences of her flight,
Young star,
Steadily losing her light,
but she’s fallen,
Lost her place in the sky,
and although I never did Understand why,
She just kept falling,
Faster and faster,
until finally they cast her
From her position in the night,
Why I’d never seen a star with quite so little light
And it was so sad to see this little star falling,
...fallen
Falling away so very far.
This star needed help,
this star needed light,
But who’d think to guide a star through the night?
The others there were also dull stars,
And the blind leading the blind don’t get very far.
If only this star had held on to her light,
She could have avoided her fatal plight.
This star stayed in darkness till the end of her time,
Cause don’t nobody want
A star that don’t shine.

Love or Lust

Tell me is it love or lust that's motivating us,
To love the way we love, or lust the way we lust.
Cause lust is not enough to keep the two of us,
On the up and up, tell me is it love or lust.
Now I know that you want to make love to me,
But tell me, are you in love with me?
Cause you could just be in love with my body,
My mind and my heart, you don't care to see.
And if that's the case, then I will set you free,
And you can make love to just anybody.
Cause what kind of woman would I truly be,
If I let you think that you could play me.
Tell me is it love or lust that's motivating us,
To love the way we love, or lust the way we lust.
Cause lust is not enough to keep the two of us,
On the up and up, tell me is it love or lust.
Now I know that you want to make love to me,
But brotha, are you in love with me?
Cause why should I give up my virginity
So you can fulfill your sick fantasy?
My purpose in life isn't for me to be
A crash course in how to make a baby.
And if you think differently, your truly naïve
It's a shame that you don't care to see the real me.
Tell me is it love or lust that's motivating us,
To love the way we love, or lust the way we lust.
Cause lust is not enough to keep the two of us,
On the up and up, tell me is it love or lust.
Now I know that you want to make love with me,
But lover, are you in love with me?
Cause I don't believe in those one night flings,
Or brotha's who only desire "that thing".
Cause if that's the case you can trace magazines,
Hang out in pageants and date beauty queens,
Cause honestly for me you can't do a thing,
I'm only into brotha's who are only into me.
Tell me is it love or lust that's motivating us,
To love the way we love, or lust the way we lust.
Cause lust is not enough to keep the two of us,
On the up and up, tell me is it love or lust.

Love the Tears Away

Black man,
I wanna love your tears away
Kiss your pain
And hug your sorrow.
Let me rock your fears to sleep
Sing away your cares
Hold you till tomorrow.
Can I see inside your mind
Then go back in time
Erase what made you cry.
And I see what your eyes see
Set your passions free
Love the tears away.
I wanna creep into your heart
Fill the void love left
And mend it with my soul.
Let me bring the dark to light
Hold your hand up high
And make your troubles go.
Won’t you come to me inside
Let me boost your pride
Hold me in your arms.
While I gently brush your cheek
As we fall asleep
I loved your tears away.
