No, I Just Can't



I've been sitting on my bed
With a glass on my hand
Tryin' to figure out a way for me to understand
Through this talk we've just had
The questions I have asked somebody yesterday
About the sign that's in your eyes
About the biggest smile
All your face in the way
Questions I have asked somebody how you feel
Only eyes reveal
Your answer's not for real

But I can't read you mind
Not this time
I just wanna know what you're going through
I don't feel wrong about asking you
But I can't read your mind
Not this time

There are times when you don't wanna say
That there are problems in your head that you can't explain
I have been that way
Baby there's a hunger, a kiss or two
But not forever do
If only I'd reach you

Maybe I'm a child
Maybe I'm a woman
Maybe I am old
Maybe I said something
Reasons, to push me away
Maybe I have laughed
Maybe I have cried
But never did I try
To put hurt on your side

I can't read your mind
Not this time

Just Me & My Guitar


Nothing's more intimate than playing the guitar. It had been ages since I had slid my flabby fingers on its strings. The frets are now crusted with dust and some of its cogs (I'm not sure what you call them) give a squeaky sound as I turn them. The feeling is nostalgic. It reminded of me high school. Worry-free and just pure fun. Tonight I won't be talking about fun and high school. Life had been so rough and work had been so dreary—not the typical feeling of a teenager from a suburb secondary school.

Just me and my guitar... I've realized I get comfort from the strumming of its strings. The thump felt like a pat on my shoulder. The rhythms are smooth and gentle. I need them so much. It's funny I get all of these from an inanimate object made by human hands. I only got myself to deal with this. I wonder what's holding me together and all the while all the answers are just on the tip of my nose. Like oil on water they surface out.  We should know that each one's perspective or point of view is as unique as a fingerprint or the contours of our tongue.  Everything can go haywire and I missed that. But hey I still believe in better days. ☺
