What are you talking about?

You use to be mind blowing, now you just make me wanna blow my brains out.

What are you talking about?

Your voice use to be the rhythm of which my ear drum would beat,

Now your voice sounds like a war cry, got me surrendering and running in retreat.

What are you talking about?

Cause the language you speaking I just don’t understand,

Need I remind you im not your child, Or did you forget im your man.

What are you talking about?

I used to miss you even when you were just in the other room,

Now I no longer desire to be in your presence, the love I once had is now consumed.

Or should I say confused, I have tried to make peace with you, but you refuse…

To make amends, let bygones be  bygones,

I wont the madness to stop, but you keep pushing me on and on.

Every argument has the same outcome,

In comes more drama, in comes more pain,

I try to sit down and talk it out, but you only hear yourself and wont let  me explain,

My side, my feelings, my perspective.

Its as if you have two mouths and no ears,

You cry loud, but please spare me your tears.

They no longer move me, except to be more frustrated,

The vibe we had, has transformed to violent acts and I just hate it.

I pray but things are getting worse,

It appears my queen has converted into a curse.

My blessing has become the blues,

This mystery is troubling and I have no clues.

My faith has birthed doubt,

Moment after moment,

You have left me wondering, What are you talking about?

Cause I don’t know what you mean when you say….

You don’t think I love you,

When you declare, you no longer care.

When you don’t respond like you once did to your pet names,

You just stare at me blankly like im not sincere, just sincerely playing games.

If im playing, im playing to win you back,

Right now i'm losing and time is slipping away,

I’m doing desperate deeds, cause indeed I wanna stay…

True to this commitment, True to the promises I made,

Love cost, and I'm not ashamed of the price I paid.

So i'm still left to beg the question, still left to figure it all out,

I will keep asking and asking until you finally stop being the answer to my question

What are you talking about?

You ask what I'm talking about?

But do you really want to know?

Can you handle my response?

Or would you rather walk out the door

Turn your back to me

Because my response isn't what you want it to be?

Turn your nose up at me

Because in you're eyes you didn't expect this of me

However since you asked I’ll tell you

You remember me being mind blowing

And I remember blowing your mind

Please tell me what happen to those times

I remember when every word from your lip

Would penetrate my clit instantly

One touch would make me want to give birth mentally

My heart was your bible

We prayed together

Every scripture I uttered

We followed

If I was the formula

You were the bottle

Please tell me what happen to those times

You use to blow my mind

We use to have fun and chit chat

Now we argue

I remember when my opinion never bothered you

Now it seems like my thought aren't tolerable

I remember when I couldn't keep my hands off you

Now we only have sex if we had a few...

Glasses of wine

Its after nine

If you're feeling freaky

I'll surrender and get that ass in line

Which always lead to

Lets try to make it work this time

Its like we're a song

And someone keeps constantly pressing rewind

After three month you get tired of the track

Start thinking its whack

You want to sell it

Or get something new off the rack

What actually happens

The CD is kept stored away for a rainy day

I care for you

But I love me more

I can’t afford

This pain anymore

If silence is my only weapon that will get your attention

I will gladly use it to my discretion

I don't want to hurt you

I want you to smile like you use to

Move on and accept the truth

You ask what I'm talking about?

But I think you already know

Its obvious to the human eye

We just don't want to let it go

Our hearts no longer beat to the same flow

This is how that love thang go

Sometimes you fall in and out

But one thing is for sure

You know what I'm talking about.
