National Poetry Month: Day 5: Jhené Aiko "My Mine"



It's finally Friday! And this month is already flying by!

Music and poetry go hand in hand. Music ushers an extra breath of life into poetry, making it jump up from a notebook page and dance with a beat.

So, today, I am sharing one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite female artists, Jhené Aiko.

Enjoy "My Mine" and check out an excerpt of the poetic lyrics below.

With Love,

-T. Amour





Memories sinkin', deep in, leakin' in my mine, 
All of the time tried to forget you, 
Thought I could get you to be mine. 
Memories sinkin', deep in, leakin' in my mine, 
All of the time I can't forget to, 
Tried to forget you in my mine 

Pretend to not have the patience, 
Pretending there is enough time for waiting, 
Remembering when we kept it all basic, 
I wanna go back so that I could taste it 
What do I care for? 
You were not there anymore 
I was not careful, 
That is all your fault, 
You let me fall

Memories sinkin', deep in, leakin' in my mine, 
All of the time tried to forget you, 
Thought I could get you to be mine. 
Memories sinkin', deep in, leakin' in my mine, 
All of the time I can't forget to, 
Tried to forget you in my mine 

Buried alive here inside a nightmare, 
Living a life where you're gone, 
There is no light here, 
It will be light-years until my mind's clear (you're gone) 
I did it all for love, 
I did it all 
I'd trade it all for you 
I'd trade it all 
But what do I care for?
What are you here for? 
If you're not there when I call? 
I was not careful, 
And that's all your fault, 
You let me fall
