What It Feels Likes With The Promise To Abstain. Poem by Adedolapo Olisa

What It Feels Likes With The Promise To Abstain.



The telephone in my room is calling me
my hands are quivering and shivering
my heart- divided!
I just want to talk to you
hear your voice and your laugh
imagine your smile as I hear your pronunciation
a friend you are but a dear one in so short a while
I ask myself ' can a friend be so dear in so short a while? '
I can't help it but I gave my words
when it is a good feeling the buts of our relationship make it a sour sensation that I must swallow
I rest on the pillow all I see is the telephone
when it rings I always wish you were the caller
when I call others, I wished there was no restriction to my access to you
I scratch my head, I want to dissolve this mountain and resolve the rock
but as always I know that drinking this content will not deter me from wanting more ' but it isn't sweet? '
but it is like alcohol say maybe even root beer
I just like the feel not necessarily the taste.
You are more addictive to me than anything I take in
it's almost a month now and I am still not through with your thought
the worst days I have now are days I see you pass by
as they just rekindle a flame but that burns not to destruction
Love is blue, I think but in my case with you also flammable
cool as the colour for it's depiction but even so cruel
everyday I want see tommorrow quickly so the days can increase
I blame noone, not even you but solely me
' I wish, I wish, I wish'
I want to just walkaway from the thought but someway I find myself been in the core of the thought
If I had a gun, I guess I might have blown my head away
so much contrats between what my brains signal that my members do and what my mind permits.
I keep remembering- 'You gave your words'.
