BROKEN PIECES



                                   BROKEN PIECES



Yesterday your side chicken called me
she said shes the new love of your life
she mocked me, told me I don't know how to keep my man
she said I should start packing
before I get humiliated
everything is now making sense
the red flags are now flying high in the sky
Isn't it obvious you can't keep a man who doesn't want to be kept or
should I sign up for a short course on dog walking
To put him on a leash



Is she the reason why last Friday you skipped our dinner date
what was the reason again you were working late?
Is she the reason why you screamed at me the other night because I touched your phone
Is she the reason why you started wearing that expensive cologne? or
Do you still want  to go with the same lie that you "sat next to a man in the matatu who's wearing that scent?"
Is she the reason why you seem so distant and cold
Is she the reason why you pick all your calls outside
Is she the reason why you always go out to "cool off" after an argument



Oh wait you want to blame me for your mistake
I got busy with work huh?
I got a little bit fatter?
I have been stuffing myself with a lot of proteins?
I thought you liked big and heavy girls
oops! my bad your taste changed
It's petite all the way
I  have become so nagging
by asking about the future of this relationship?



Why did you cheat on me
Why did you hurt my feelings
Why did you disrespect me
Why did you make me look stupid for loving you
What about the promises you made of never leaving
Being my ride or die
Bleeding when I hurt
Was Demi Lovato right about
promising me no promises?
Did you mean your Words?
If you say you do
why are we here?
Do I leave?
Do I stay?
How do I just throw away 4 years of growth
where am I going to take all this love I feel for you
If I walk out from us
will I be able to live without you?
If I stay will there be a burial for my soul?



Will you change?
Or is this just the onset of a tsunami that is about to hit me hard
why did you put us in this mess?
We were doing so well right?
or was it just me thinking  that?



Did you think of my love before you cheated
Did you  Atleast think of me before you cheated
Did you think of me when you first approached her
Did you think of me when you first asked for her number
Did you think of me when you first texted her
Did you think of me when  you told her about your day
Did you think of me when you realized you had formed an emotional connection
Did you think of me when you went over to her place and had a physical connection
so why are you  lying saying you're still thinking of me and our love?
