story of an african son

It's been a while since we talked, hope you haven't wondered off to the world I still think about you time to time,the one that could never be kept Everynight I kissed you goodnight,looked deep into your eyes and told you this is for life But that was too much for one who wanted more than love and time Young village boy living his dreams with his beauty from the east Tall,slender thing with a tattoo on her hip She believed in his art and loved his work She was like an angel in my arms, lost in a moment of entangled souls Now I count months of loneliness, placed on the shelf for a better bet Am trying to move on but it's just impossible to let go Our future is already tainted in scars of lust and pride But we shouldn't give up on the dreams in our hearts An year passes and yet faint memories of you still haunt my dreams I see you met someone now and am happy for you It's funny how it feels now, like I was tricked into believing your the only one for me ...

I practice sanity for your reality is abnormality Like a shady deal we can never find common ground You of intense grace, creature beyond fame I tattoo you on the back of my neck like a life long promise To be the one who holds you through the stormy nights and hopeless days Pray for me sister for this world has made me a darker man I will never know if you mean everything to me I only hope you will stand with me at the edge of it all Look down my dear and let's pretend it's the end Don't play games for my shuttered heart might bleed My beautiful black and white Delight of my soul, my best and worst behavior In a world of millions only one sees me

How we try to be nice Living life like a piece of pie I create love on every turn I pray the lord for a better heart I hope you are happy now With the one who will never leave you alone Colour me purple with songs on injured souls Find those feelings at the end of a bottle Create intention in the arms of a stranger Text me the end of a perfect story Bring me back from my three day buzz My ultimate obsession, twisted in with all my demons Perfect sun sets for a perfect goodbye text My mind lost in Deja vu of you taking off the tools Let's forget the past for there more wrong turns on the way Broken heart yet not so far to a point of running out of love

First I look to the sky thinking of how the end will be losing my mind to greater memories of Obun Everything she appreciated and yet it was like she could never see me Placing my mark on the little that they haven't grabbed yet See what this life holds, days of dust and busy bars I feared I would loss you to your dreams Probably since mine were shuttering to millions of pieces Figures that I took the first move, acting as sane as I could I watched as your eyes went out,all that you held true between us faded to blues Now I sing to kodaline tunes,'love will set you free ' I seat just a step too far from heaven gate I dream of the impossible on the eve of the inevitable I pray my path will shine Alittle bright Giving light to the dark story of I and my lights skin queen Move closer to the reality of peace The serenity that comes with being with the one you love Sit by me as I watch the evening sleep Hold my hand for it might be the end of everything

It's a world lead by leaders Choices made in big halls Futures planned for the unsuspecting flock Promises made yet again of days that will never come to  display Give a little time to me and I will fix all that brings ill Promises,promises,promises..... Look around you and tell me what you see Wouldn't it be a better Kenya if they thought of you and me If they dreamt further than their custom made suits Believed in the change they could bring Promises, promises,promises...... Amani for president I say Amani is the key that will make us a great breed Amani for me,amani for you A thousand prayers to the most high Watch over us as we walk into this trying times Makes us one as a country and sheild us from this misplaced promises **** It hurts when you see a life lost  From the words of a wolf in sheep's cloth  Terrorise the peace of a beautiful land  Because you're too afraid to accept defeat as a man  When you call apon people not to work...

You left in claim of love Left us lonely and alone with our thoughts Set us apart from the few Drained all that we held true Bloodstreams run empty for weeks As the hope drained We stare at the screen hoping your name may pop up soon Standing infront of your door hoping you might sense my determination We see ourselves and wonder what it might have been We wish we could call you and talk of our problems but it's really hard when you are the main one We ease our minds with laughs and hard drugs Pretending it never hurts with tears drowning our eyes We might never wake up from this beautiful confusing But as long as we remain us, we will always be free

Hold my hand as we dance the dance of life Come closer for the distance makes my lungs wish to give out We are closer now than we ever were It takes more than guts not to text you back I loved and hated who you were The way you could reflect all that detailed me while you remained my mystery I tried to push this problem out my mind by letting go Finally deciding to be myself at a loss of you Guess it's true I will never be good for anyone Die as she walks praying she would stay I don't need to label us to know what i feel You are the only left of my shining lights 7:01 and my mind is an ocean of beautiful confusing I can never say you walked away and I can never apologize enough for it I try to start up a new life set Hoping to be a better bet I recap the litter I never forgot Stories that we made in the days under the shade This story might be over but we can always start over
