just not good enough
ezechias mulamba 2004 (cape town)
she said i like you , but not the way you want me to.
what was i thinking?, at times i can be such a fool.
but i don't blame her, i'm not that cool.
whenever we together i can't help but stare
what.s going through her mind, heart,does she even care
but she deserves to know , i think that's fair.
too afraid
not too brave.
she's the best ,not perfect
to her i'm a brother , not worth it.
i love every second we spent
i want to be with you all the time , is what i meant .
i'm hurt , she's going through so much
but always smiling , girl you so tough.
i need you , but it's not for free
i'll gladly pay with my heart, that's cheap for me
i hope one day you'll realize what we could be.
About this poem
