He Says, She Says : It Just Doesn't Work * A Poem*


She Says:
He used to be so romantic, he would give me candle light dinners
I was amused by his antics, I thought I found a winner.
Now all he does is park his ass on the couch
and when I ask him what's wrong he says he doesnt know what I'm talking about.

He doesnt talk to me, he doesnt take me out
then he wants to sleep with me when he retires from his couch
he's hardly ever home and when he is here?
he makes me feel like I forced him to be, and it just isn't fair.

He Says:
She used to laugh at all my silly jokes
then she brought all of our problems to her girlfriends and folks.
now feel like a stranger in my own house
so I take my place quietly on the living room couch.

I try to step away from my man made island
but when I try to sleep with her, she makes me feel guilty for trying
she says that the way I treat her is so unfair
but if she doesnt want me with her, then why am I here?

She Says:
I used to try talk to him, but he didn't want to listen
I'm giving up on us, because I've grown too tired of wishing
If he really does love me, he won't let me go
So I'm going to leave him, because that's the only way I'll know.

He Says:
I want to tell her how I feel, but I don't know what to say
Each time I try to talk to her, she takes everything the wrong way
I tried to give her what she wanted. I thought what she wanted was me.
But she said she wants to go, and I love her... so I'll set her free.

And I Am Telling You... Breaking Up Is Hard To Do!

Dreamgirls was a successful Broadway play for years. It even made it's way to the big screen in 2006. Original headliners of the staged version included then little known Loretta Divine and now long forgotten Jennifer Holliday. Watching the performance of the then robust and popular Holliday allowed me to witness her successful portrayal of the scorned character Effie White. In a passionate performance she screamed, sobbed and belted the lyrics of "And I Am Telling You, I'm Not Going" in such a way that years later many have made a valiant effort to match her vocal bravado in singing the same song. Of those attempts, most have fallen far from the mark. With this knowledge, I wondered why was it that Jennifer Hollidays career didn't move much further beyond her Dreamgirls fame. Upon doing a bit of google research ( not the most reliable, but definitely the most convenient) I have found several theories as to why Jennifer Holiday's career came to a standstill...

Good Morning Heartache....

When I was about 14 my mother gave me a book called "Good Morning Holy Spirit". It was a Christian book that was aimed to keep believers in tune with God. It encouraged the reader to wake up each morning and greet God, allowing Him to play a role in your life each day. I still try to do that. Recently, I realized that another part of my life that I can certainly do without is heartache. Getting married and going through the motions of a divorce gives way to feelings that are far from pleasant. It's stressful, it's emotionally draining and it hurts like the dickens. With all of these aches and pains I still press on with my decision to end my marriage. My husband understands. For the first time last night, I poured my heart out to him, sobbed and expressed my pain. I told him that I loved him, but I could never be with him again. I admitted that I don't know how to be his wife. I admitted that I am petrified of being a single parent to two girls. I mourn...

K-Ci & Jo-Jo Come Clean.... : REVIEW

When I heard that K-Ci and Jo-Jo were coming out with a reality show documenting their experience going through rehab, I was excited. The first thing I wanted to know was which one was K-Ci and which one was Jo-Jo (yes, it has been that long since I have seen let alone heard of them since highschool). I always loved Jodeci and when the two lead singers of the group branched off and made a few ballads I looked forward to hearing more, but more never came. Years passed by and I continued to play their hits and came to terms with the fact that this group was never going to reunite and the two brothers whose vocals lead the group to super stardom with were coked up and out for the count. Enter K-Ci and Jo-Jo: Coming Clean. I figured they were going to finally boot the snow blizzard that packed their nostrils. WRONG. They are kicking the alcohol habit. They claim that there was never a drug problem. We all have heard otherwise, but they insist. If moscato can turn me into what these t...
