LETTERS TO OLUDHE She was somehow,Always going to be the one,You threatened to love;You had known love before;But nothing like how you had known it with her;But it never really got to bloom,And you never could really say you loved her,But you were in love with her;And you’ve learned the difference,And are now getting to … Continue reading LETTERS TO OLUDHE (55)
Longing
REINVENTING YOU
REINVENTING YOU I smile now,Knowing I was capable of attachment; I am happy now,Because it was you, I got attached to; We are moving on,Albeit, slowly, We see you,And appreciate you, but in a different light; We are reinventing your place,In our lives. LOVE & PAIN
REVISITING
REVISITING Memories of you still linger,Albeit, with some form of clarity; Moments are revisited,And understood differently; Our own biases are seen,For what they were; But we still hold these memories of you,In gentle embrace. LOVE & PAIN
DO-OVERS
DO-OVERS We got here,Because we attempted to love each other;We attempted to be each other’s special human; That wasn’t eventually the case;But somehow,We made this journey beautiful and wholesome; We once formed an attachment;That made us happy,And I would do it all over again. LOVE & PAIN
WE THRIVE IN THIS
“We Thrive In This,” is about the cycles we go through after our hearts have been broken, and all we have felt for a while; is nothing but pain. It’s about the conscious decisions we make to ensure that we never feel that pain, or heartbreak, ever again. At times, maybe, the decisions we make, … Continue reading WE THRIVE IN THIS
WHAT WOULD COME
WHAT WOULD COME What makes heartbreak the worst;Is the person you are, when it happens,And the situation you find yourself in;When your heart is broken; It’s not just the loss of love,That breaks you;It’s the loss of yourself;And what you imagined would come out of that love. LOVE & PAIN
LETTERS TO OLUDHE (53)
LETTERS TO OLUDHE Nyiri biro-biro; to gi-biro dhi;Some will love you back into yourself;Some will break you and leave you scared of vulnerability;But that doesn’t diminish;What hera means;Or what it could mean to you;And although none of them will be replaceable;Love will still live here;Long after they are gone. LOVE & PAIN
UNTIL I STAY
UNTIL I STAY I fear getting lost,And hurt in pain; I fear losing myself;After giving pieces of myself to you; So let me go;Or love me until I stay. LOVE & PAIN
THESE FEARS
THESE FEARS It’s the fear,Of not finding someone to grow with; It’s the fear,Of not finding someone to grow old with; It’s these fears;That I am scared of. LOVE & PAIN
OUR VERSION OF MOVEMENT
OUR VERSION OF MOVEMENT I never want to doubt;My place, or importance in your life; I never want to put you in a position;Where you doubt how much you mean to me; But should the disconnect come;And our emotions are filled with doubt; I will move;And I will let you move away from me. LOVE … Continue reading OUR VERSION OF MOVEMENT
