Did you walk away
Did you let go of me
I'm pretty unsure
I can feel your sadness
I see your confusion
You want to ask why
But I have no answer
I can only say sorry

Can we turn back time
Walk together backwards
Memories and moments
We think there's none
Yet we know we are wrong
Can we change things
Don't ask me
I can only say sorry

I'm not perfect
Neither are you
We thought  we were
Once we were content
Not wanting more
Just feeling blessed
You ask what happened
I don't know ***
But I'm sorry
Some times we feel sorry,we can't explain why .....  but we  truly are.

I want a taste
Chocolate or vanilla Im unsure
See how creamy from afar
But my tongue knows not your worth
Delicious or just a beautiful colour
How can I tell
Im broke and cant afford you
But I'll have you anyway
Without any permission
Without a penny
Its a bet with my friends
To know exactly the taste of you
Dont feel bad
I cant fail a bet
Im sorry
Forgive me
Its all for me
But its all because of you
Can't remember when I wrote this but its most likely inspired by stories of people who take advantage of women.not for love but just to satisfy their curiosity.

Images in my mind so unreal
Images scattered like a puzzle
A puzzle that is impossible to fix
Yet in my hands,And I'm lost
What a shattered frame
All I see is a shattered frame

I'm questioning myself,more questions
I'm seeking response from within but none
Till a ray of light began to shine
Pointing somewhere like a path to follow
It wasn't just a ray,it was hope

My mind is no more on the shattered frame
Just then I realised,I am not the fixer
How could I possibly be the fixer
There is one superior to all
Knowledgeable of all,and more than able
One Able,who was and is and is to come

Now the ray of light  points in a path
The end of which I Can not see
Thats how far I'm meant to go
Thats how limitless I am
My abilities, the strength that lies within
And the frame in my hands is making sense
The picture is forming
Its a new image,It is hope

You wonder why she loved you
Deceit lust and betrayal
But  she did,eyes blinded
Till truth unfolds with time
Love it fades in the face of reality
Bitter but real

Let her flyaway
Let her breakfree

Listen,the sound of drums
Toes taping in rejoicing
Hear  the the laughter of freedom
She is no longer your prisoner
Let her walk with her head held high
She is beauty,elegance and dignity

You wonder why she loved you
Toture disrespect and hate
But she did,Ignorance
She held on though her blistered palm
Knowing not her worth

But she knows today
See she smiles at her reflection
She is beautiful not because you say


Let her flyaway
Let her breakfree

Troubled waters,raging storm
Heartbeats like the African drum
Noise from thousand voices
Noise from ceaseless thoughts
Need I stay calm?
Quiet like a stream
Need I enjoy the peace of the day?

Not mine place to worry of the war that lies ahead
Not mine place to worry about tomorrows hunger

Worry makes my sweet soul weary
Turns  my  soft cheeks  wet
My beautiful eyes dull from tears
My precious smile faded away

So I say to my soul
Be still
Sometimes you need to encourage yourself.

Where I'd rather be is in my thought
Buried,covered yet breathing
Dead yet alive in my head
A land of wild imaginations
crazy fantasy
beautiful reality

I'm awaken to cool morning breeze
Once more I see the beautiful sunrise
I'm stuck in my bed,buried in my thought
Years of dreams,several mornings
moving circles,running on a spot
Tell my weak legs to move
Tell my tired soul to keep running
Night is gone,a new day is here

Let my eyes lit with hope
Let my troubled soul find some peace
For troubles of yesterday are gone with night
Hope has come with the morning
