MJ & MSN

Its been a poignant week for some of us.

One only has to start up MSN to encounter the palpable cry of broken hearts. Along the MSN nics of friends, were personal messages that ranged from "Hand over my heart", to "Love is nothing but a game of Lies and Deceit", to "Stabbed in the Heart", and "Love knows not its own depth, till the hour of separation".

Tired out from peering at lighted pixels and Frustrated by the drought of words, I tear myself away from my laptop and blasted the radio.

A familiar song aired. It is a Michael Jackson number; a ballad that has not graced the airwaves for eons.

"She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life..."

*Shivers* his voice...!! Ok I confess I am a closet fan of MJ. I love the timbre of his voice on old ballads like "Ben", and lesser known "One day in your life". He executes the perfect balance of soothing timbre and heart-wrenching emotions in this song - She's out of my Life. The tune is lovely, (if only the lyrics werent so morose!).

Dedicating the above verse to all whose msn nics I have qouted. Its like that one lah! Take heart, at the universal nature of your pain. It is a necessary process, but you Will emerge from it, and at the end of it all, you realise one day that you are fine.

She's Out of My Life
Michael Jackson
