Letter to My Ex

 

I remember the day we met

Beaten by the rain and all wet

Sharing is caring

So I got close to make sure good you faring

With tears amidst rain on your face

You, I immediately embraced

To cover up your shame 

On 21st street lane

I overlooked your knocked knees

Your desire for love I freed

You didn't have the beauty of Queen of Sheba

Or the smooth skin of the African Mamba

A little Rexona, 

A little Nivea.

I rubbed off all your rough edges like that of an ape

And managed to put you in shape

You were not a super hero but I robbed you in a cape

Little did I anticipate

That me you'll under rate

To trade me, your color television

For that black and white without a vision

Who wears sun shades even at night

Knowing very well that he's not in the right

Where did I go wrong

All day I sing for you romantic love song

Or was it that my bola was too long

That would've been a feather in my cap

Would've made merry and drunk milk from the tap

Cos I have the blood of my ancestors.

Sometimes I wish I could call

Just to ask how far

To know the many times he's left you at the bar

To pay for your own drinks

A man with many link's

You once thought

My dear, that was a wrong call

Here I'm I ....standing tall

At least I was a better man

Not like that old thing that was raised in the barn

This is my last letter

After which you and I never met

My words may not seem easy like bread and butter

But that's the best way ever...I can bet

I've moved on

On the wings of love may we ride on

And may our past

Never interfere with our future.
