My Line

Image Credits

What's in a line?
Why does it take so long to combine
Your thoughts and time
Just to create one single line

Being able to see you
Has been the darkness hidden in the dew
I wish I was able to rewind my misspent time
Take it back to when you were mine

The sad sorry sob stories
That make up all my life's glories
They really suck
It's been seventeen years, I'm stuck

Let's put this all on paper
My thoughts, my feelings, my anger
I've been searching for years to get a small portion
Of what it means to be complete
But only a week later
It's swept out from under my feet

I used to be the best
Now I'm struggling
I can barely pass these tests

I don't care what others think
And that's probably why I'm on the brink
The brink of destruction
My minds mixed up like a vile concoction

It's been more than a year
Since I had someone to hold
To watch soggy movies and shed a tear
I guess it can't be helped
If I can't even stand in front of anyone
Without wanting to melt

Candidate after candidate
Date after date
All the time I spend
All goes to waste

It's like I'm a squashed USB
Trying to be compatible with the hollow of a tree
It just doesn't work out
Things look fine and end up going south

Ek het regtig nie meer die krag nie
Om so aan te gaan nie
Ek will net verlore raak
In die berge met n skaap

Ek wil net nie meer nie
Ek kan nie met mense simpatiseer nie
Sny my net uit
Ek is te moeg om vas te buit

Daar is net n paar mande oor
Tot dat ek almal kan verloor
Ek is amper klaar
Met my laste paar jaar
Dan verdwyn ek
Pak my sak en verlaat my blyplek

Dan begin daar n nuwe lewe
Waar ek nie meer moet vergewe.
When this time arrives
I will follow my line
