“Chase Me, or Not at All,” is a lot about feeling all the emotions you once denied yourself the chance to really feel. The pain; the hurt; the hope; the memories; all of it. It’s not really a floodgate of feelings; but a process of seeking out each emotion, to better understand it; and approach … Continue reading CHASE ME, OR NOT AT ALL
Longing
SOMEONE ELSE’S MUSE
SOMEONE ELSE’S MUSE It was easier,When someone else was my muse;I wrote for you;I wrote for an audience of one; Now that I am my own muse;It’s harder to write;And even harder to lay my soul bare;This kind of vulnerability doesn’t come easy. LOVE & PAIN
LETTERS TO OLUDHE (49)
LETTERS TO OLUDHE Remember the days,That passion drove us?Remember the days,When that was all that mattered?Life seemed to happen,And we forgot;Forgot what it was like,To really feel things deeply,Through a fire that lit our soul,And set it ablaze. “I want to go back to that.” LOVE & PAIN
TWENTY-FOUR
TWENTY-FOUR For me,24 was all about being definite with our paths;It’s when everything around us;Demanded some clarity,In terms of the direction, we wanted our lives to take. LOVE & PAIN
LETTERS TO OLUDHE (48)
LETTERS TO OLUDHE Wach piny tek,Ntie seche moko,Where all I did,Was wonder what to make of this life;I wondered about the present,Thought of her,As the one who would stay and I could love;And as much as I wanted to stay present for her;And do what the moment demanded;Piny ni omer gi wach piny. LOVE & … Continue reading LETTERS TO OLUDHE (48)
KEEP IT FRIENDLY
KEEP IT FRIENDLY Why do you want to complicate what we have,Because you want more?Why do you want to let go of the heavy breaths,In between moans,Because you think you love me? LOVE & PAIN
SETTLING
SETTLING We settle,Because the ones we truly loved and wanted,Left, or aren’t there anymore; We settle,Because, eventually, love stops being about the one,But more of, about someone you can love. LOVE & PAIN
IF ONE DAY SHE EVENTUALLY CHOOSES YOU
IF ONE DAY SHE EVENTUALLY CHOOSES YOU If one day she eventually chooses you,It won’t be because she chose you;It won’t be because you are the one;The one left a long time ago,While she was still trying to figure herself out; If one day she eventually chooses you;It won’t be because you are her soulmate;But … Continue reading IF ONE DAY SHE EVENTUALLY CHOOSES YOU
THE ONE WHO TAUGHT ME HOW TO LET GO
Before you, you have no idea how hard I had tried and failed, to let go of the attachments I had formed, and the people I loved; but through you, somehow, you made this process easier, and I guess, now, in retrospect, I am grateful for our little interlude, and the emotions I felt for … Continue reading THE ONE WHO TAUGHT ME HOW TO LET GO
TEMPERAMENTAL
TEMPERAMENTAL I know you have a temper,I see it creeping in subtle ways,And there are some nights I lie to myself,That I can quench it; But regardless,I would still love you,With or without it;I would still choose you. LOVE & PAIN
