stop thinking
about how rays of light
always seemed to
meet his eyes and
made them
gleam a golden amber
that reminded
you of honey

forget that his voice
dropped from his lips
like honey too

imagine how it was
before his presence
made you feel like
you were water
changing state

let go of feeling
his hand painting
your body
turning it into
art

remember yourself
crumbling under his grip
and the way he didnt even look down
when pieces of you littered
the floor

remember how much
she looks like you
before you were a collection
of broken promises
im ******* feeling it y'all

These days are over
These days are gone
When you made me feel like I was the one
These days are over
These days are done
When one touch made me feel numb
These days are over
These days are torn apart
When your smile stole my heart
These days are over
These days are dark
When your eyes were a piece of art
These days are over
These days are lost
When our footsteps and love crossed
It was wonderful until we paid the cost

Don't long for the wilted flower
To stand tall again
It's time is spent
Turn your attentions to another bloom
stay in the present

The pain never seems to go away
But i know you're still with me everyday
A part of me left when you died
for months i cried
Although sometimes i feel your spirit with me
And every-time I see that monarch butterfly
I know that you are near by
You may have left too soon
But I know your are here, up by the moon
thanks you for always keeping an eye
While you’re way up there in the sky ❤️

All will be over, and we will go out to play like we used to do in the town square, under the big baobab tree where the nocturnal birds sing that melodious song.
We shall count the fireflies as they fly over our heads to escape  the hungry lizards..
I will tell you stories about my childhood, how it all started with a boy barefooted in the sands of Abuta. That boy with a torn shorts and empty stomach in the class.
I will tell you stories about how we used to roast corn and keep it in our school bag waiting for the bell to be rang for break.
How we used to go for hunting with our caltapults in the thicket to hunt for birds and mice. How we aimed at ripped mangoes at Ashaakooko. How we run away from the owners and sometimes how we got beaten by some Busanga guys.
I will tell you stories, stories that my father told me about my father's father.
But now, outside is not safe, so lets stay home and safe. Together, we shall win this war.

Even if your world is falling apart
I hope you take care of that precious heart
Feed it truth
Feed it love
Feed it forgiveness
When the season is over, look back and see
In all this illness
There was growth
In all this sickness
There was hope
For one day, you will see again
One day you will breathe again
And one day we will meet again

Dating you always seemed like we were holding hands at first.
Tightly gripped and firm.
Then you started to loosen your grip and I held mine in place.
Still tightly gripped and firm.
Over time...your hand started slipping from mine and I still held on.
Until that night...when you finally yanked your hand away from mine.

Now I hold my own hand...in a fist.
Tightly gripped and firm.

Waiting to punch you in the throat.
