I know the real you
Invite me in and I'll show you

Yours Sincerely,
Love

My heart, you look better.
Much better than I last saw you.
Your wounds have healed.
They turned scars I can barely see.
You no longer cry or scream.
I like what you’ve become.
So here is the key.
Run wild and free.

Please wait a while
my beautiful lonely smile
Perhaps just a little bit longer
Let me hide behind you
and let depression know I am stronger
with your crooked design
you distract the tears from falling in line
and with the strength you hold
in this emotional poker, I am certain I wont fold


Please wait awhile
my beautiful lonely smile
hide my grief
and show the world a perception of bliss
but please remain crooked
and let our mediocre deceit of happiness create an opening through the cracks
giving them a view of our melancholy
so eventually
they can reach out and say,
I see you.

Where are you?
Tell me you hear me
Show me your location
And let’s fast forward to that beautiful occasion
Relieving destiny of her duty
Merging as one
As we obstruct the balance of molecules in the universe
Taking our ordained position in this world
Listening to only our words
Losing touch with everything except each other
Making the carbon bonds in diamonds jealous of our union
Letting them watch from your finger
As we spend eternity together
Where are you?
If you can hear me
Show me
Ayodeji M Jul 2017
Don't take all of me.
I don't know who else I will be.
But if you may do,
then please,
share a part of you.
Ayodeji M Jul 2017
In that moment in time,
when our lips locked,
it felt heavenly.
And when we closed our eyes,
we lost ourselves in reality.
And In those infinite seconds in space,
I had a glimpse of eternity
with you.

Was it worth it?
I ask myself
as I stand on a cliff,
watching the waters,
listening to the waves whispering my name,
telling me about about peace in an end.

I search deeply for a reason to stay.
Looking to the sky
for a sign for a better day.
Having flashbacks of battles fought,
Sacrifices made,
Bridges burnt,
Scars that won't fade,
and the pain of hope,
That all will be worth it.

I hold my heart on my palm.
Scolding myself for wearing it on my sleeve.
Contemplating crushing what's left of it.
Cause the plasters won't hold its pieces together.

Walking closer to edge of the cliff,
I let go of my heart.
The atmosphere gets colder and I shiver.
I block out the screams of people telling me I was enough.
I am enough.
No! I'm not.
For if I was,
She would be here.

So I shut my eyes and turn my back,
Taking three short steps backwards.
I find myself missing the third step,
Falling...
Falling...
Falling...
And before I hit the waters below,
I utter out my last words,
"Take care of her"
Good night..
