No Time For Love Poem by Raimi Babatunde

When you said goodbye
I never knew this day would come
I cried and almost ended it
You thought you already won
But the tears were not for you
They were reminders of the wasted years
The ones we shared together

Making fake promises in the moonlight
We painted our world with red
I shut the door against serious minded prospects
I was carried away by your lines
Oh! How heaven blessed you with those sweet lies
I teared because I truly love you

Let me even ask you
How do you want your madness?
Actions begets reactions you know!
Do you want it with clothes?
Or you prefer to form Adam
All I need is your mothers' maiden name
It cost just a little over two dollars

Now, you think you found an angel
Suddenly, you are ready to settle down
What happened to those promises?
Every tear I shed, dots yourfuture
When things fall apart
Just like a park of cards
Don't look too far, you earned it

I allowed my sense of judgement
Becloud my sense of reasoning
I fought everyone for you
I thought I found a soulmate
But in you my love, i found "The Devil"
I might be down, but not out
Maybe love is not fair after all

I have learnt my lessons
Henceforth, no time for love
I was very good and humble
You turned me to a very good bad one
For years I sacrificed for you
I could give you my life without hesitating
But this is where it ends

My life does not depend on you
My joy lies not in your hands
It might take time, but I'll get there
Like the Eagle, I will watch and wait
And in this Zeus' green world
Love will find me again
This time, for better for best
