Some nights
I lay awake,
And wonder what life would be like
If you loved me too.

Your eyes so blue.
And a heart so true.
Lovesick in it's deepest degree.
Oh I wish you could see,
My point of view.

Would you have
     our stars not shine?
Would you have darkness
      be your shrine?

r ~ 5/5/14
For our school girls in Nigeria, and the world over.
I lie awake in the waves of the wake you left me in
My lungs fill with water until my chest bursts open
My body is a lake again
I know I make mistakes but I can't fake like I can displace your skin
I sink deep with every crash
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me
People keep asking me

"Why do you love him?"
"What so great about him?"

And
They always give harsh criticisms

  "He's too old."                                                                                          
  "He's too young."                                                  
      ­                                        "He's too short."                                                   
                                     "He's too tall.".    
                                                                ­                       "He's too fat."                      
                                                                ­                                    "He's too thin."

And
I keep saying

"Do you need a reason to love someone?"

'Cause
To me
When it comes to love
The age, the height, the weight
Is just a number
:)))
