Nothing Compares 2 U

 

It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
‘Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It’s been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they’d only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl you better have fun
No matter what you do
But he’s a fool
‘Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I’m willing to give it another try

EYES THAT TOLD

 

It was all in her eyes,

Eyes that showed the real her.

Through her eyes, you could see past those smiling lips.

Eyes that were loud, loud like pounding drums

Eyes that were colder than a winter night.

Minute by minute, you could learn more of her story,

All just by looking into her eyes.

 

Eyes of a black crow-

Eyes that made your heart beat like hail beating on your window

Her eyes always dancing with worry-back and forth.

The eyes of acceptance, yet eyes of rage.

The eyes of sadness-creeks of water pour.

Pour over mountainous folds of skin under her eyes

From sleepless nights.

 

Her sleeves on her blouse were wrinkled,

Perhaps from wiping her wet face.

You could see her whole world through her eyes.

I choose to keep looking.
