nothing / everything

every term, at this time,
i just cannot wait for everything to be over
and every term it seems more difficult than ever.
on the walk home,
felt like i was on empty
not just tired empty but empty empty
one of those days u start thinking about life as a big picture
hoping to go beyond the scope of your daily motion.
at the 11th floor of my block,
i saw glistening lights from airplanes
if i had things my way,
i would have gone from place to place
and every day would be like a day, a culture, a sight, an experience anew.
that's when i had this, hmm, idea if you can put it that way.
kinda got me excited as wild thoughts came along
like darting bulleyes unto this big break
one would have dreamt of at one point or another of their lives.
maybe it will manifest,
maybe there will come one day i will tell u some of these wild thoughts.

amazing voice always does good like medicine

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one, with nothing to give you but oh
I love you

You, you buy her diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But believe me, dear, when I say
That she can give you the world
But she'll never love you the way
I love you

You can take her any place she wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you, go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
Darling it is I
Who loves you
