She's been through hell
more than anyone could understand
more than she'll ever share
it's a mystery how her heart still beats
and how she keeps that smile on her face
her mind never stops
it keeps working like a time machine
neither do her thoughts of feeling less than enough
she just wants someone to laugh with
and tears when she hurts
she is tired of doing it all by herself
she needs someone to lean on to when she feels the weight of everything upon her shoulders
life's chronicles, the struggle, pain and heartaches, the needy one, a shoulder, tears and laughter

A lovestruck boy went in for an adventure -
To win the heart of the most beautiful girl
in his neighbourhood.
She would smile at him and stroke his hair
with her fingers.
Just when he thought he got her heart
She walked away like smoke from flames
leaving him to burn to ashes

You remember when I first asked you-
If you will marry me and you said
"With all my heart"
There was no confusion nor trickery in it
Now look at me and tell me that you don't love me
With all my heart was our theme
How can I watch you leave
With all my heart
forsaken love, heartbroken, lost love, with all my heart, sad, emotions

Why do you want to tell me all your secrets
Don't you know I'm the girl who never falls
Why do you want to pour out your heart to me
When you know I'll hit the road every single time it calls

Please, don't tell me you love me
Cause i wouldn't know what to do with myself

Why do you want to visit me
Don't you know I'm a loner
Why do you want to waste your time on me
When you know I'll break your heart every single time you try

Please, don't tell me you love me
Cause i wouldn't know what to do with myself
The one that never comes, Asa music inspired, love poem, gone girl, don't tell me.

Dear World,
Ooh how you treat me like a Robot
I'm forced to act and work like a machine almost
every other day
When will all these pressures end?

Dear Africa,
Ooh how you make me feel like Clown
I'm forced to smile at the things i don't want to
almost every other day
When will all these pressures end?

Dear School,
Ooh how you treat me like a modern slave
I'm forced to memorize lots of dates and words
almost every other day
When will all these pressures end?

Dear Work,
Ooh how you treat me like your "errand girl"
I'm forced to show up in snow or rain or sunshine
almost every other day
When will all these pressures end?

Dear Parents,
Ooh how you treat me like a prisoner
I'm forced to tell you wherever i'm going to
almost every other day
When will all these pressures end?

Dear Mimi...
We got all your letters
Love;
World, Africa, School, Work and Parents!

Love's like a hurricane
and all of a sudden i realize just how-
beautiful you are to me.
you are a poem to me
and i just keep writing
a book of you and me;
i can't put it down
cos it's a story that's never ending
the story of you and me
a page that i cannot turn over
time stands still till i see you again

My heart sinks
as i watch the sun slip into the clouds
and the days lost in a trance
yet, another day/month
without my love
here with me
love poem, lovers, heart beats, heart sinks, without you, my love, long distance
