Empathy for Apathy

Empathy for Apathy

A Poem by Alani
"

A song about my dad, about my mom

"

Life was just fine, 

‘til you brought back time 

I knew that I would face this day.


We all know with time come scars and memories...

Thought I would be over this.

 

You called up, 

tried to make right  

was it just to make yourself feel better?


What was it that you wanted to say? 

Don’t you know your words don’t come out the right way?

 

Don’t hide behind… 

that fake smile 

why can’t you just be weak for once?


You say you’re the victim all of these years, 

but I’m sure you had her whisper in your ear 


Any way… 

by the way…

What was it that you wanted? 

Empathy for apathy?

I think, I`ve heard this before .. Umm.. where I`ve heard this?? Umm .. (Looking up to the sky) .. Umm ..I`m not getting remind it ..Umm.. where i`ve listen to this song before? Ummm.. Wait ..Yeah .. yeah, I got it, this song`s sung by a hottest "Veronica" alias a beautiful Alani ~~ who lives over the frosty edges of cold oceans blowing the frozen winds to my ways .. *Wink*

I really love this song. You`ve ot a great talent. A talent which`s burning into the molten raged heart of a hottest Alani .. and the world`s kept awaiting to inhale her fragrances having her in disguise of a greatest singer, author or whatever my beautiful Alani wants to become .. lol Lovely song. I find an ocean of emotions in your stuffs, most of the time indeed and which`s good by me after all, through your words, I can feel the salted touch of roaming winds. Great job!!
