Who’s listening to this years later-- so fresh
It's 2022 and I'm here
These guys are the reason I found the courage to let my emotions spill. almost a decade later and I still get chills from these poems
That shit got me missin an ex I don't have
same effect as drake
Molina Danh you're so right, its a deep piece
Rt
OhshizitsTaylor i
OhshizitsTaylor WORD.
6 years later and I still have it memorized. Still cry even though I'm not in this situation. That is true poetry.
Marie Madeleine Gnagniko 8 now
Chudier Khor like the back of my hand
8 years now. I come back to this when I want to feel.
I still can't listen to this song without thinking about this performance. Every time I hear the song, I'd rather be listening to Alysia and Miles
This was my favourite one
“Why ruin the ambiance with honesty?” “His voice doesn’t sound like yours no matter how many lights I turn off” yessss
This still runs chills down my back. Feels just as potent at 16 years old to now 24.
I first heard this poem when I was a student at the University of Pretoria in 2010, with my second postgraduate qualification. The message really touched me, they spoke to me and I swore to myself that I would not allow myself to be taken advantage of. I am now 37 listening to the poem again. I still love the lesson.
"Hands feel like hands in the middle of the dark, but his voice don't sound like yours no matter how many lights I turn off."
I will never get enough of this poem.
We really ARE the generation of 'not being in love' and 'not being together'...but we sure make it feel like we're together.
"i'm reminded that when its done they can call on your soul when ever they want to; at will. When ever their lonely needs its fix" I love that!! it just sets the whole poem to a slayed rest! its sooo relatable and true
8 years. 8 YEARS and I’m listening to this at 2 in the morning trying to get emotional and failing thoroughly.
❤❤❤
God, Miles Hodges is freaking gorgeous. Wow
Alysia: I know that you’ve heard this before, I know that your patience has run thin and these love poems are getting boring. After the 5th one night stand, she said she felt like a slave to your lips. I guess that’s when you started fearing, using your tongue as a whip. When the lust is so thick and the morals so weak, her blood still violet on the inside but her lipstick’s gram pink. When you scrape your paintbrush across her canvas, nothing but water color courage and red wine to pour. Intentions and temptations blurred like, like a beautiful sunset but you swore on the blood of every black bird. Not to answer her calls, not to empty her depths, not to fish her pearl but just look at her black curls. So much midnight about her you feel like she’s cursed. And you can’t tell what’s worst, admitting you’re a coward or telling her you just don’t want her.
Miles: After the 5th one night stand with the 4th different woman for the 3rd time this month, he wrote a poem about how 2 is the loneliest number he’s ever known. And how the most at home he feels is in highway drives that wind him home, in the tar of I-95 north, across Bronx, south of route 4, west 87 towards Jersey. The damps of mattress plural she’s left behind, the contoured faces of girls wondering “why?” haunt through the air. And she likes it there. And he likes it there, in that haze.
Alysia: She is literally saying his name
Miles: In other men’s beds. She actually told them that but the last text he read said “Miles you are fucking disgusting, to think you came in me one week ago”. He puts the phone down back into the centre counsel of the car. Face steady like warriors after a clean death without a flinch or a murmur of lips as Take Care fades back through the speakers. You know, you know it’s messed up when you can start relating to that shit. When the best excuse you have for leaving before the sun rises is “she’ll never understand me anyways.”
Alysia: And yeah, the truth hurts, but don’t tell her you love her if you’re not willing to put in work. After the 5th date, with the 4th guy who looks like you I’m beginning to wonder if I’m not just a little nostalgic and I’d apologize but he doesn’t love me anyways,
he’s just in love with an idea, so I promise instead not to fart or cough. I’ma just let Einstein keep dreaming all hypothesis & semen.
Why ruin the ambiance with honesty, I just happened to have breast and ass and added a bonus for free. So whatever feelings he claims he has it won’t last no matter how bad the hangover, it’ll past.
Miles: ‘Cause I can stomach damn near everything, even gas and a lit match with your initials etched on the back
Alysia: I don’t have to think when I’m with him if that’s any constellation, surface conversation in the blind observation that hands feel like hands in the middle of the dark. But his voice don’t sound like yours no matter how many lights I turn off.
Miles: And I, and I, I can’t get high enough anymore to disregard the beautiful, young lady, my one and only, that reminded me, keeps reminding me that when you give yourself to someone, when your walls collapse and your masks are thrown to the floor. You’re so close to someone, that everything seems to have a taste, the texts of her insides, poems in self over swooning to cum at the same exact time.
Alysia: I’m reminded that when it’s done, they can call on your soul whenever they want to and will, whenever their lonely needs its fix.
his voice don't sound like yours no matter how many lights I turn of..
“But you swore on the blood of every black bird,
Not to answer her calls.
Not to empty her depths.
Not to fish her pearl.
But just look at her black curls, so much midnight about her you feel like she’s cursed.” 💔
The first time I saw this I was convinced Miles was singing. hahaha
Love this poem
Who's listening in 2021? I haven't stopped since it came out.
moral of the story "soul ties are dangerous"...that was really deep
Alyssia takes my breath away every time !
Whenever I'm having writers block I always listen to this to free my mind. This piece is just so amazing.
I cry every time. it's been years. lol... it's tiring. 😂😂
Sivenathi Mkaza very 😂
Listen 😩😭😭😭
Same.. till this day. This gets to me 6 years later smh
I feel truly sorry for everyone who haven't seen these videos of these amazing people. these should have million, trillions of views.
I still come back to this.... even in 2021.
2023
No matter how many times I watch this, and even after memorizing it- I can't seem to get enough of it. Tears are brought to my eyes every time without fail.
Still watching this is 2019 and still in love with this 😩🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
DAMN! ::snaps profusely::
After the 5 one night stand, with the fourth different woman, for the 3rd time this month, he wrote a poem about how two is the loneliest number he's ever known. Miles.
8 years later & yet still in love with this. The feels are always there.
Its 2021and i cant forget about this one....
still listening 🖤
Same
The moment you realize, this poem is actually about the two....she is in love with him, and he is incapable of love.
lies. he definitely was in love with the featured female singer jennah bell. he's explains this in his poem "Alcatraz of Balloons"
I agree

this is it!
I play this probably once, maybe twice a year if I’m lucky. This piece is second to none in my humble opinion.
I will always remember this
This is my favorite. There's so much I get from this every time I re listen to it. Different feelings, different context, different reactions.
I think I listen to this at least 50 times a day.
It is really hitting home right now...
Me and girlfriend went through something similar. We recently broke up for good. I heard this poem months ago, and it was good. Now, it brings tears through my eyes.
I love this poem. Man I've watched it over 6 times. Peaceful. Music 👌🏿
I can't stop replaying this
Sigh I love themmm! Miles you melt my heart honey.
Lol he's 👌🏿👌🏿😊
It never gets old to me....
Intention and temptation blur like , like a beautiful sunset
After 5 years still my favorite poem 😫😫😫
These are my two favourite people.... This makes me ache every single time.
"I'm reminded that when its done, they can call on your soul whenever they want to. At Will. Whenever their Lonely needs its fix" *******Finger snaps*******
This is still so incredibly moving
"...I'm reminded that when it's done, they could on your souls whenever they want to, and they will, whenever their lonely needs it's fix."
"Don't tell her you love her if your not willing to put in the work". Seriously this poem moves mountains, of perspective.
Yo this is still fire 😭😭
I teach young people Spokenword and this poem will now feature in a lot of my class sessions. I love the story narrative of the peace and the fact that Miles whom
I saw at BMV in 2009 &10 when we brought a group over from the UK,he uses himself as the boy within the poem. It makes the poem poignant and strong.
I love the impact at the end, the final reveal, the epiphany of the peace.
Well done to both of you also the music score is brilliant too. There too many favourite lines within the poetry that sticks out at me I too like the end lines the most.
"i'm reminded that when its done they can call on your soul when ever they want to; at will. When ever their lonely needs its fix" I love this also @ilaallstar
This poem is honestly everything that pops up in my head but could never find the right words with cursing up a storm. 😞 🙌🏾
Still feels like I’m listening to this for the first time. It’s my 10000000000000th time
Love this forever x
Liquor and thoughts I shouldn't be thinking brings me here every time
That makes 10yrs. Timeless. 😢
The concept of this poem and just every word is amazing... It's so gritty I just love it! #Amazing
5 years later and this is still amazing.
This poem has meaning 😊 I love listening to it.
I've listened to this far too many times, but it's still not enough.
God i''m always doing it wrong. this is a beautiful peace to the core.
"But dont tell her you love her if you're not willing to put in work"
Still love this! Miss all of this real poetry.

Drake - Doing It Wrong
Sometimes it's terrible the things that happen under the cover of darkness, "whenever their lonely needs a fix."
This is too awesome.
Amazing!
One of the most beautiful and captivating pieces I've ever heard. Watched it so many times
This is beautiful
I still love this so much

I've listened to it hundreds of times and it never gets old. "You can't tell what's worse admitting you're a coward or telling her you just don't want her."
