her. i've been warned of the wicked igbo queens, who will steal my heart and leave it scarred. lead me on and leave me lonely but i was never warned of her, the one with the prettiest name. with words like spells that put you in a trance. her spell. infiltrates the heart, breaks the wall, afflicts the heart, longing for her essence. and makes it all seem so harmless. even if my heart gets broken, i'll be left with these memories. i know it's all worth it if it's her. the nectar of love only comes with the poison of pain, and if i was to be burnt, i'd rather it be your fire.

you
i would chase you around with love letters, sunflowers and roses, and write you lines that don't rhyme. but that's not how shots work.

shots
you see, i'm not so good with words, and cannot weave lines that rhyme, or compose brilliant poems. my words, if only i could find them, will tell you how much you're beautiful, about your sweet smile, and your beautiful hair. i can't wait, for when we get to hold hands, when i get to catwalk in your size 42 high heels, go to a spanish club together, and reminisce why we don't talk about bruno. i feel so lucky, thinking about the randomness of how we met, how you caught me in a way i'll always remember, or maybe we really are meant to be together? i always blush, when i think about your sweet smiles and beautiful hair, the standing girl emoji and the doll from squid game, the too many times to count i stare at your beautiful pictures.

i thought you wanted a love letter
I didn't want you, I wanted love and I have realised that they are not the same thing. You were a mould that I poured my insecurities in, a computer I tried to program. But you are a sky, stormy and clear and rainy and warm. You were so blue when I longed for red. I didn't want you. I wanted the thought.

Why do I feel like the only actor Among Y'all humans Why do I feel like the only sinner Among y'all saints. Why do I feel like the only masked man Among Y'all maskless.

IG Poet
I Was Startled just by the sound of him Was Disgusted just by the sight of him He Was Everything I would never want to be. Was way too damaged beyond any repair. I Am slightly broken too but not near broken as him Paused, glanced and saw he looked a lot like me He Stared glaringly and sneered at me Yanked angrily and yelled at me: 'Fix Yourself Now!' I Panicked, flinched and nodded in fright Looked in terror and saw in fact, He was me! **** He Offered a hand to help me up as he shot me a sad smile Looked at me with remorse, as he gently said: Fix yourself now that you can be fixed. Fix yourself now before you are too broken. Fix yourself now before you **** yourself.
