Guns, Blood And Roses Poem by Yewande Adedokun

My heart was broken before I gave it to anyone
The dark alley beckons to me
A thing of purpose I will always have in mind
A shadow of my future wakes up with me
Like I see it all before living it
So, when he came along, Jimmy my lot was given freely

My expectation was the same I wake up with everyday
Taking the wild life of drugs and stones with passion
As life pass beneath us to fulfill purpose
I was no body, He also feels this way
No commitment required and non gotten
My heart knows this

Cold in my hands was the steel that took his life
Who I think is the love of my life
But it gets better, as I sit in patience to watch life go out of him
His eyes locked with mine

I look around the wealth drugs and crime has built
Makes me weep like a baby. A life of Vanity, of nothing
There it is, my story
There it goes, my redemption

I walked the miles on foot as I recall my life
I might be walking in trans now as a light over-whelms my totality
In a second, My breath filled my ears
My eyes goes blurry
My pains gradually departing to a life beyond me
But I see his eyes filled with worry
His hands stretched to pick me up
Something tells me I have been given a second chance
With a great man I do not deserve
The type of man I never dreamt of

He rescued me from the shadow of myself
So, I write this today just to say thank you my darling
