Should love kill you ?



Photo by: Unknown
Is he celebrating you like you are him? 
Not that it matters,
But the daughter from my mother told me so 
She say "baby love needs gratification" 
Whatever that means...

Is he loving you baby like you do him ? 
Because life told me so
I need my left and my right hearts to beat together.
a centre stable
Is he with you or you grasping him ? 
passion with arrogance
Not that it matters, but I think of such things

Especially when you call me at night 
I want to say "where your lover dey?" 
because I know say love sabi kill person for inside
i no wan make you die for man
But I con talk say "shey padi boy dey scatter your brain" 
You lie, tell me yes. 
Make you no die for man
Abeg .

Decay 2018

Painting by Lucy Harding I'm so mad at myself  That despite the foul stench of decay  That I'm emanating I'll still choose you  My murderer  Without thinking  From a heart not beating  Because of you  I'll still choose you Death over life Without you  Over me My lover. In death.  You.
