Skin Deep Poem by Kwasi Boakye

You deserve the best
I deserve the rest
Those you said to me always
I was so blind, I couldn’t complain
All I did was to maintain
It was hard for me to say
But I tried to explain
I can’t guess the amount
Because i had enough, I’ve loss count
I should have opted out
Long ago when I had doubts
I guess I was scared of what I would go through
When my heart told me to hit the road
I couldn’t think of anything less being bold
You’ve taken away my picture
My vision of us together looking old
And made it a useless fantasy
But our past is very real
And that I will keep forever
I know you’ve earned more than you need
So please return my flowers
But the car you can keep
I know now, what I did not
That Beauty is skin deep
