IMPOSSIBLE




IMPOSSIBLE


Unbelievable is what you heard,
unimaginable is what she said,
Like poison-laden arrows
Her words dart into your ears
Heading straight for your fragile heart
Awakening once buried fears
Taking it in your stride
You hold back welled up tears.
The picturesque bliss up in your head,
An idyllic future now set aflame.

Everything you've been doing right,
At least, so you thought,
All of a sudden now wrong,
Hurtful words connected as one,
Leaving you numb and enervated
The melody of a sad song.
She says you are undatable, too available
Yet, still irreplaceable,
Is that even possible?

She wants you to stay,
To never go away,
She wants you for keeps
But not in the right way
Not there when she sleeps
But to listen to her whinings,
and watch salty teardrops
Meander down her silken cheeks.
To heighten her hopes when they dip
Assuring her all would be fixed.
She wants you to be there for her
but not here with her.
Again, is that possible?

You want to do more
She knows you can give more
Still she doesn't let you.
She wants a bite but not to chew
More is good but she wants few.
Exactly what she wants,
You have not a clue.

  1. Oga Ay, I give to you my salute. Your choice of words are good and your views, true.

    Wait a min, Oga Ay, what do one do if friendship is only what sees in the zone but love, she could not see,not even in the horizon ?

    2. Akin, If friendship is all she sees, it would take a miracle to make her "unsee" it. If you are really optimistic and as you said "see love in the horizon", you can wait for her to change. Realistically tho, I don't think you should.

    1. Exactly, they might be afraid to take that leap of faith. Or maybe commitment is not their thing. Thanks Vicky.

  4. This is really good...I've never been a fan of poetry or even liked poems but you are beginning to change my perception. I want to be like you when I grow up, lol. In fact i already see myself writing poems, so you need to mentor me...But really, nice one Ayo!
