it's corny but it's what i am feeling right now, please be kind...

"blackwater"

off the cliff, you pushed me
into the clear black water, like a sheet of glass
you made me think i wanted to go
halfway there i realised...
bring me back, reverse time
it's not what i thought
splashing, crashing, shattering through
nothing but black
i swim deeper, trying to find
the reason i am here
but you stand laughing, above me
you walk away
i am left
searching
wanting
wanting everything and nothing
picking up the pieces
hands bleeding
nothing fits, a mismatched puzzle
one piece in my pocket and i'm gone
 
NOw that sounds a bit too much like a dream i once had; it haunted me for weeks and weak remains the part of me that walked away,
the piece is still somewhere lost in with the linnen in my denim pockets of neglect.

all i can say is that the face that laughed out loud from high above may just be the echoes of your own vitality.

Just a thought, your words carry their own blue symphony though, as you well know...

Verse Two: KRS-One

Cause don't nobody care about us, all they do is doubt us
Until we blow the spot then they all wanna crowd us
and wanna shout us, but you my man from way back
I just gots to say that, actin large I don't play that
But I can't say that, where I play at isn't fast-paced
A friend can acquire the taste to become two-faced
And that's a disgrace there ain't nothing you can say to us
When the kid you grew up with betrays your trust
When we used to ride the bus we had trust
Now we cash checks and drive Lex, and can't show respect to one of us
Yo the heads I hang with ain't tryin to just get
what they can get, sit quickly backstabbin the click
I roll thick, but only some are friends really
down to the end, my right hand men and women
Mutual support, from the beginning
Been in, exactly what I've been in
