Life is funny,
I had two lovers,
I had to choose one.
I told each one I was going away for a few days,
A said,"Be safe.God be with you."
B got mad at me.
I chose A, he was a partner.
To B I was a possession.

I got myself admitted into the ICU,
Had the nurse Whats app  I was dying.
Wanted to find out who really cared for me.
Some relatives could not wait for the Will to be read.

Don't talk much,
That day I talked incessantly,
Only mum and dad sat and listened,
They always love you with your flaws.

My five year old son is a terror,
Has a mind of his own,
I  was feeling low,  had a headache, my body ached,
My son came into the room,
Rained me with kisses,
Smeared Vicks on my head and feet,
Snuggled  close to me,
"Mama don't be sad.
I'll be good. We need you."
