Lagos, Nigeria Words Are Just Enough. W_A_J_E
Chilling feelings run down my spine Like juice from a grape vine Fear in control of my mind My spirit, no longer mine Is she about to pull the plug? (is my flaw that bad) Is there no right in my wrong? (this is just sad) I'm always at fault Never her fault Was what I thought So my apologies I brought To appease her hurt I'm at it again Nagging again Complaining again Frustrated again I crave attention too Not only you do This is supposed to be two sided But you're a one way traffic You paint me the villain And you the saint I'm not to expect too much But you expect much from me Your vile lips lie they love me Your actions are on the contrary Is it wrong to be faithful and true? Is it wrong to give and expect in return? Is it wrong to give roses of red only to get violets of blue? Is love meant to be G-I-G-O or forever young? I'm I mixing up things Or can't see the picture clearly cos im in the frame? Let go of this feeling And quest for a new soul mate? drops pen sobs *writing again.... These are my questions This is my lamentation.

Lamentation
Weird is the new me So you freaks should let me be Darkness is what I emit I'm not like thee Different is always criticised So why do my demons need to be exorcised? They are beastly creatures This is not your nature You a kind loving soul Well that was me ages ago Welcome to the new upgraded version 2.0 When I was misunderstood where were you? You also tongue lashed me too I found solace in the dark corner The demons became my brothers You forsook me telling me you needed a break You words piercing me deep within like a stake I walked my lonely path in tears While you wined and dined with friends I was welcomed to an esoteric community Lifted of my burdens and guilt Now the veils over your eyes are torn The old me you knew is gone You want me back This gear can't hit reverse You hope I find my way soon You pray I find my way back to you My ship has set sail It'll be a miracle if I return sane But if you willing to wait I just might find my way . Back . To . You

Lost Soul
I speak of Friends, I speak of Foes I bathe in circumstances with the soap of Woe Like the pains of a woman in labour my spirit Bellows Like a rock cast into the sea my mind is drowned in my Throes At peace I was with myself like a gentle Dove Like a baby I slept in my secure Abode G‎entle like the wind was the personality I Drove Transparently clear like the heavens Above The 'Devils' came disguised in their Cloak To extinguish my light with their thick suffocating Smoke Fed me with fear till my throat began to Choke! I was almost absorbed like Garri left to Soak But for the love of the Father over my Soul And the prayer of a Mother over her Own In my whole being the seed had been Sown There 're people i'm glad I know and some I wish I never had Known.

My Regret
Like carefree kids we played Singing and dancing in the rain Anticipating each day Couldn't bare to stay away From each other? No way Emotionally attached to each other Envisaging a future together Woven of many fibres Even a weavon wasn't tighter My metre was broken, my joy knew no bounds My heart skips a beat, **** I love the sound The complete that makes my incomplete complete, I've found In this romantic pool, I wish to drown My heart I give to you All of me belongs to all of you There's nothing I wouldn't do There's nothing I couldn't do Careless promises we made To love each other till we fade Come hell or high waters We will forever be lovers I'll starve, to see you filled To see you happy I'll bleed I'll cater for your every need I'll treat you like royal beads My capillary, arteries and veins Were designed to suit your taste I'll be your Paloma you'll be my Diego My sugar banana and Avocado Then I had a deep cut, was bleeding profusely Stitches and bandages couldn't help unfortunately I wept uncontrollably Cos I was shattered internally What we love hurts us the most A statement I just got to know My mind wandered from coast to coast Grief had taken over my soul How could this happen to me How could I be a victim to this How was I careless This is arrant nonsense Was I blind Were there scales over my eyes Did I ignore the signs Did I want to believe all was fine It was like I would never recover It was like the wound won't heal It was like it would last an eternity It was like respite won't be The wounds closed up, all that was left was the scar A painful reminder of a broken heart Injuries happen Tis inevitable But the scars reminds us Tis conquerable.
