tea & sympathy

 

 

 

Fare thee well
Trade in all our words for tea and sympathy
Wonder why we tried, for things that could never be
Play our hearts lament, like an unrehearsed symphony

Not intend
To leave this castle full of empty rooms
Our love the captive in the tower never rescued
And all the victory songs
Seem to be playing out of tune

But it's not the way
That it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
'Cause it's not the way
That it has to be

You begin
And all your words fall to the floor and break like china cups
And the waitress grabs a broom and tries to sweep them up
I reach for my tea and slowly drink in

I sat on my bed late in the afternoon with a cup of hot lipton tea and a couple of days old garlic toast & tormented myself with wanting mint ice cream from kuppa ll well yeah, if vincent were a part of the dailiness it would be easy to go get that mint ice cream or gobble all the sushi there’s made in the world or take a platter of that raw gingery beef or not worry about going to work on a cab & not mumble when the cab driver stinks or think about how lucky I am to get a cab that smelled okay and the driver’s not too chitchatty while am saying a lil prayer going to work for the fear that I might just lose sanity and walk out of it.. ll sometimes I wonder if I would be happier if I were like him or his friends- if I had money.. ll haha.. I loathe the fact that all I got is enuf most times  ll and that dich does not have med insurance at this point when she broke her back accidentally carrying kenji-that lil biik who grew heavy, he can break his mommy’s back and they do not have insurance ll well yeah, wut would I give to have his or his friends’ money? ll
