I see you
Afro Ebi Mar 2020
In the room
There was you
Yes there were others
But you were the one I knew
My hands love you
I can’t control what they do
My lips still crave yours
So at this game of love.... did I lose?
- sincerely, the one you hate

Star Heart
Afro Ebi Jan 2020
You can show me the whole world
But I don’t want to see it
Just show me your heart my love
This is something I won’t forget
My heart is what you’ve become
But my heart is full of stars
All the stars you are
But this is something i don’t even want.

Past Tense Love
Afro Ebi Aug 2019
This girl I loved
She told me a lot
Like once she even told me
that I was the best she’d ever have
She told me she loved me
She even made me laugh
That was in the past
And i was looking back
At all the lies she sang
When I wasn’t so **** sad
Now I’m in the present
And i still love her
So I lied in the beginning of this poem
When I said I loved her
as if I stopped along the way
Believe me I’ve tried
And I’m trying everyday
To forget her face
And the way she sang
When i was in love
And assumed she felt the same

Place
Afro Ebi Aug 2019
At this point exactly
I’d rather not be here
I’d rather be anywhere
Than here simply slacking

A place i would like to be
Is any place with you
We could simply sit in silence
And I’d feel free

Be careful with me love
Once I fall in love I can’t get back up
Unless I leave a piece of myself attached  to you
And I won’t know who to trust

So the place I want to go
That place may be toxic
Should I go anymore
I don’t even know

— The End —
