Obianuju, My betrothed. The princess of Amigbo An angel, So innocent like the sun. Your heart, The purest of all. An embodiment of beauty A charisma of strength, From a lineage of purity. A besieging *****, For a befitting thrown. A worthy queen, Yet I see you not. The forcing of hearts, An eternal regret.
No one, No one, I looked far and wide. No one, In comparison of your beauty. My heart, A belonging for another. The misery of our joining, A damaging scar it leaves. Your heart, So innocent, Yet I seek another. Obianuju, Do not await my return. A betrothing of hearts, Yet my heart seeks another. Obianuju, I tarry, I tarry to my heart.
