Maybe I'll just man up Men don't cry, do we? Here I am, babying and disgracing manhood Not just that tears well up in my eyes I wail like nothing else My chest aches Not that anything hit me I know where its from Maybe its my soul Elvira took a part of it when she left I don't know if I can survive Everything reminds me of her The bus, as we held hands and whispered to each other The flower garden as its our favorite spot The spoons and plates as we hit them on each other To make our favorite beats If this is part of what it is to grow up I'll rather remain a baby At least I wouldn't have tested this kind of love Not to think about losing my heart I saw her yank it off as she banged that door Maybe it wasnt meant to be But then, why would she take part of me with her

Our eyes met And I noticed that his were shiny And blurred out just behind the thin film He looked down on his chest And stared at me His chest revealed wounds that have since healed Or so I thought The tears in his eyes And the words that followed Made me know that though he had scars His heart bore a deep wound That not even time had kissed I really thought he was distraught because of the scars on his chest But no, he'd prefer ten thousand scars anywhere else Than the one his heart bears It's been more than ten years since it happened But right now, his heart still breaks He's sworn never to be at the mercy of another woman. To him now, love is dead She left with parts of him

She left with parts of him

I don't know why You saw 'six' And I kept seeing 'nine' I could swear it's straight forward You claim I'm blind Hence, you could bet with your right big toe that it's six We've traded blames and punches For what we now know to be silly If only I'd come to the other side To see things through your eyes Or you came my way to see how I view the world Then, we'd be on the same page And save the world from one less drama Peradventure if everyone everywhere Is conscious of the other side Things will look up now and always — % &

As I turned I saw her coming Wearing a large smile She was looking at me I turned to see who was behind me There was no one I fixed my eyes on her form as she walked closer Oh glory to God He made people beautiful I wondered if I ever deserve this kind of smile As she touched down She smiled some more And I saw a nice set of teeth Then she said Doctor, thank you for ... I don't recall the bulk of her comments But I remember her and how she got here But mehn, she is stunning And I guess I have to keep doing what I do Hmmm

And they joined me on the seat The three of them Aggressive noise makers And as they talked, I saw him With thick slashes of machete And his entails crawling out Though they didn't hear him He was pleading for mercy For all his wrongs And for the good gone bad He was beaten with razor studded whip And oh my goodness The site was nauseating The wounds went deeper with each round of laughter And I wondered how much was left of him Finally a phone call interrupted their gist party Maybe he has to hang on to life in their minds Because each of those words they said about him Made him die somewhere without his knowledge GoSsIp

He said this to me Over and over And meant every bit of it 'She's very beautiful Homely and industrious In fact she's from your place' At a time I felt I faced a firing squad And I wondered how much she paid him For this advert Like everything that we find here He got tired As I was clear on what I don't need now Guy, why not help yourself out I told him one afternoon Why would you blot yourself from this equation He took a deep breath And like a pill, he swallowed hard And boy, my counsel stood They're waxing strong together And it's good to see That not all 'Back to sender' is harmful Phew BackToSender

At the time it was the craziest thing to think of Not to talk of doing But there I was with my thoughts and prayers To term it struggle is disrespect It was a royal rumble in me Perhaps I was overzealous or ahead of myself To what end was this going to be After all it'd bring sadness and a deep in mood I longed to see God talk to me If You'll have me do this, speak to me And own it with Your chest Sire With my teeth gritted and hands clenched My heart danced so fast as I decided to stand down At that time, I knew that nothing would ruin this resolve With tears in those eyes , I shook my head Grabbed a lung full of air And hoped for the best Whatever comes my way And I wish I did those earlier Because life's been better No Regrets

Lovely A and B were waiting And hoping and praying For an adjunct to their Penta This would be the last one ever They've sworn this way After the fourth But here they go again This time, they're sure It's time to hang their boots When their minds were off the issue And things were so normal The new one not only threatened to But she appeared In beauty and bounty Smiles everywhere Kisses and hugs and love She brought with her It seems everything and everyone Paused to herald her entry Doors flung open Allowing all sorts of favour and goodness enter We don't need to wonder Why she's called Bounty Because she is really Obianuju Yasss

I was anticipating that moment And it finally came We were face to face with each other And I wanted to know if all I heard About you were as straight How people are dying to hear you Give voice to wisdom But when you opened your mouth I saw how trash was made first hand The kind that none would admit to owning I watched as you progressively dug Seeking for lower depths And of course, you found it I honestly thought someone somewhere Was whispering, 'lower, lower' The sad thing was that I didn't know how to leave It wasn't even easy to meet you And it wasn't free either I watched as my money couldn't even kiss a proper bye My phone rescued me It vocalised and I excused myself I needed a break from being tortured Thank God for that breather And it wasn't a breaking news That I didn't come back Duhhh Nil haste

They advised us to follow our hearts In our quest to find love in this world What did we know? We quietly did as they said With a lot of anticipation and glee Only that they gave us half information Little did we know that Our lives would never be the same And our hearts would never be complete again As we lost some of it to some we once loved Looking down on my chest I can't even find the heart The remaining chunk hang loosely on my sleeve If there's something to learn it's to make our hearts cooperate with the head Scrap that Make our heads the chief counsel In this journey Perhaps, they're not as emotional We'll decide who or what is good for us In plain daylight These become choices we make with our whole chest LoveLite
