Here We Go Again Poem by Mwenyeji Spikes

She says that we've been here before
and then she starts to cry,
You see in her conversation I get lost
Like emailing addresses on E- bay
How I wish I could listen and respond in every-way
but every word she utters leaves me in ultimate dismay

So I bounce onto the couch
Sit back as I watch her lips move up and down like a cartoon in Disney.
Here we go again arguing
Calling me names and she's tired
Even she don't believe in, all the lies that I be weaving
So she picks up her backs and contemplate of leaving
But even she don't really think of life living after
It is like we don't give this love enough space to breathe

Her friends keep on lying that I am lying
and I know that her heart is bleeding
But I am not to blame for whatever hurt her feelings
She knows that I suck at being perfect too
But I try to calm her down and tell her,
Baby we got problems & though money don't grow on trees

I know of a beautiful place where we can go sit beside the seed bed
Under the trees as we listen to the ballad notes
and watch our hopes grow
Here we go again me begin for her to stay
But she's tired, too tired to even try.
