I radiated heat
Like the sun
But it wasn't until your arms touched me
That my blood began to run cold

When you endeavour to grow
You'll need to learn how to garden
Because there will be some weeds
nestled in those "empty spaces"

You know you need to change
When you look at every passerby with lust between your eyes
When you crave the skin of a stranger that only ever said "Hello"

I want love
And not the kind that shines brightly just to burn out quickly
No the kind that shines steadily and lasts more than one night

Hold me tight sister
Don't let them catch me
"I won't Ezie" said Ngozi as she nestled them deeper into the leaves

I haven't forgiven myself for letting you in
For knowing you were toxic but still letting you in
Into the space between my lips
And almost the space between my hips

P.O.C

You're magic
Pure and undiluted
