Dancing with pain

Dancing with pain

Tonight I’m dancing with pain

I have invited her again

I did not mean to

I tried to stay away but she found me yet again

Why have you showed up

I have been happy

You knew my weakness

And you ambushed me

I guess I really am reckless

There really is no gain for the selfless

Anytime love shows up you show up

Why do you make me afraid of love

Why is love hurtful towards me

What have I done to love

Why does love ambush me alongside you

Tonight I’m dancing with pain

In my own world

Sunglasses covering up my dead eyes

And moving to the beat of love

Love controls this movement

It was the best dance of my life

Tonight I’m dancing with love

Love is pain

Nothing.

I gave love

And got nothing

I fell hard and fell into nothing

Now my heart longs for something

I don’t know what is

I don’t know what it could be

But I hope I get something

I trusted in the words that love fed me

And love left me with nothing

I held on to your hands

And now I hold nothing

I looked into your eyes and saw something to feed my soul

But now my soul is left hungry

Feeding unto nothing

I used to dream of something

But now I dream of nothing

I held you in my arms

I felt like I had everything

But now I hold on to nothing

I used to feel something

But now I feel nothing

I am not nothing

But when I’m without you I feel close to nothing

I will hold you in my thoughts and imaginations

I will hold on until they fade into nothing

Until the taste of your lips on mine feels like nothing

Until the scent of your body smells like nothing

Until the texture of your skin feels like nothing

Until the smile on your face remind me of nothing

I will forget

I will remember nothing.

Pain city

I hate this city

I hate this city

I hate this city

I hate this city

I hate this city

I hate this city

I hate this city

I hate this city

I hate this city

I am leaving this city

I am leaving everyone in this city

This is not my city.

Lost

I’ve lost myself for too long

Seems as though I’ve carried along different personalities

The one that fits the different lives I’ve been living

Somehow I feel I’ve lost count of all facades and sharades

The mask

The beard

Covering up my true self to benefit others

I call myself good

I let myself go so I could a smile on their faces

While I don’t remember what it’s like to really smile with so much joy

The one I miss

The one that brightens up a place

The one that holds so much grace

I know somewhere deep down the real is still fighting for a spot

In the front lines

Shouting, screaming

Give me a shot!

I am you

How do I feel?

I don’t know how to even feel

Sitting in this chair

Wondering how life turned out to be this way

I’m sick

Never knew this time would come

Can’t sleep

So I sit here , feet crossed facing my hospital bed

As I wonder how the hell did I get this sick

I muster up the energy to go stare at myself in the mirror

And I almost run back

“I do not recognize you!”

I yell to myself

My eyes turned red

Lips dark and blistered

Stomach bloated

Breasts resembling that of a pregnant woman

I’m sick

My heart doesn’t beat the same

I don’t walk the same

My frustration seems to be starting to overwhelm me

I call on my lover

She cries with me

I tell her I’m scared

I told her I’m fine

I hang up the phone

I’m still scared

I only lied

I’m still seated here

Mentally begging my headache to chill

Don’t come knocking I’m having a relaxing time

sitting in this chair , not thinking about my mum that hasn’t come to visit

Lonely as I carefully plan my exit

Not thinking about a damn thing but the fact that , how did I get this sick?

POINTLESS NOTHINGNESS CALLED LIFE.

Nothing makes sense anymore

I’m no longer waiting to see what the future has in store

I wish there was light at the end of my tunnel

The deeper I go the darker it gets

As I take each step with regrets

That I chose to be here

To have hope in a future I knew wasn’t coming

Now I’m here running

Just fast enough to get to the end of this misery

Just fast enough to leave all the pain behind

I guess happiness is hard to find

So let me have peace of mind instead

Even if I know I’d find the ultimate peace when I’m dead

My world is a mess

I’m only here playing a damsel in distress

Too late to regress

Just here to impress

That I can be your title of a strong woman and let it all go

And act a “pick me”, so society can drive me into dirt

Call me societies wheel barrow

I play the main character so I don’t have to remember all this is real

I am here once again pretending to be okay and dressed to kill

I thought I was dead for too long but now I’m back as usual

You might think that my write ups are unusual

Sit back , think , relate

You are in this hell we call life

We are just too blind to see the fire surrounding us

Burning us beyond recognition

Trust me this isn’t a competition

At this point in my life there is nothing I fear

Not a thousands deaths

Nor a million misogynistic men

Not a thousand army at lekki toll gate

Not a fucking homophobic moron

Not anyone

Not you

Not me

I fear nothing

Not even this pointless thing called life

Absolutely nothing!

Chaos.

Starting to become familiar with it

I mean this life of disorderliness

Where we leave our trash lying around

Waiting for someone to clear up the mess

We love so hard

We get hurt

And we fight the pain by trying to love someone else harder

Self destruction at its finest

Pain is the comfort zone

They say ,”put down the phone”

“Don’t call her”

“You don’t need her”

“Why can’t you just forget about her”

So I dared my demons

I show up at her door step

Begging for her to stay close

Every crumb from the bread of love

I’d gladly pick from the floor

For every drop of water that comes to wash this stupidity

I’d gladly block the shore

So I say,

“Just one last time”

“And we can call it quits “

But here I am again

It’s never going to be enough

This is the death of me

I’m dying in my mind

Where all the space she took

Can’t be recovered

Dancing to soothing sad music

You say that’s sick

At least I have chaos and one sided love

What do you have?

WHY?

You should know I tried

When I said I was satisfied

I lied

Say what you want

Don’t be difficult

Who hurt you ?

Why do I have to pay for it

Why do I have to keep asking myself to wake up from this dream

Why do I have to beg for you to be on my team

Why do I have to make a fool of myself

Something about this still feels strange

It’s killing me now

I’ve had everything

But not the real you

I still feel lonely

Soon everyone would see right through you

I said I’ve had everything

Like you’re made of glass

But I’ve still not seen the real you

You’re all I want

Just let me hold you

The real you

I know you’re scared to be vulnerable

I’m scared too

I’ve always been

I let all my guards down with you

Why can’t you be the same too

Did you lie when you said you loved me too

In every option I know I come number two

I still let you see right through me

Why’s it so hard to be with you

Why do I have to try extra hard

Why is it so sad

Why do I still feel unhappy

Why!

Can’t you hear me

I’m in love with the real you

I can’t wait to meet her

I need her

I crave her

Show me

BLIND (part 1).

Maybe I’m not what you want

Maybe I’m just what distracts you until you get it

But I hope you still want me

When I’ve moved on

I hope you remember how I made you feel

I hope you remember the sound of my moan when you touched me

The taste of my lips

Because I still taste yours on mine in my dreams

The sound the bed made when you were on top of me

The face you made me make

While you made me cum

Because I remember yours

The dimples I see when you smile

I can’t live without you

And it haunts me

It hurts me

That I don’t know how I fell in love with you

I just remember holding your hand

Realizing how much it was going to hurt to let it go

I knew someday I’d have to

I just didn’t know it would be too soon

No matter how much you make me feel sometimes

I still want you

I want to hold your face

And kiss you anywhere I want

Even in elevators

Or on the damn street of Lagos

Where no one can stand to see us

I never understood why I wasn’t enough for you

It crushes my heart feeling like you meant the world to me

But you only made me a little space in your heart

And that was where I took shelter and it comforted me

I’d cry for a few months

Until it no longer hurts

Just memories

They weren’t that many memories

But the few where the best in the world

It’s so messed up

The fact that I will always love you

Even if that love hurts me deep

I can’t write anymore than this

It hurts

FACADE.

She’s a tortured soul with the face of an angel

Heart turned to stone bought from the pit of hell

A facade

She wears it so well

Wears the happiness to hide her fears

But never really knew what true happiness was

A rebel she never cares what she does

Living for the revenge

Just like Medusa

Revenge against those that turned her to a monster

A deceiver

Acting out the role they played

Hurting others

Bleeding on those who didn’t cut her

Making them suffer

She did not plan to turn out this way

But she changed the moment she realized they’d never stay

She has come to realize that love never stays

For the rest of her days

She’d never be the same as she was once before

She’s a living reflection of her past

An encore

Of pain and lack of love

She’s what they made of her

A demon in disguise.
