Ayoitunu Gbadebo Poems

So many times I'd cry myself to sleep
Haunted by these bad days I wish I could skip

I wish the rain could wash away my pain
...

Here I am once again
With no one to numb on my pain
Fell in love with nothing to gain
Nothing but a lot of shame
...

I tasted all that is sweet
But found nothing sweeter than your lips

I tasted all that is bitter
...

I wear a smile
A smile that's fake
Worn to cover the sadness written on my face
That way the world won't see I'm in pain
...

I'm drowning in my dreadful desires
They consume me like a roaring fire

I'm a prisoner to my addictions
...

Constantly in a world of depression
And life doesn't seem to be doing well
It's a different kind of oppression
To feel trapped with no help
...

I feel like writing every time
Even if the words don't rhyme
I pour out worries from my heart
That way I won't be sad
...

How true is it?
The saying that love don't cost a dime
For I'm stuck here wishing I could go back in time
Back to when loving you wasn't a crime
...

I call on you Lord, save me please
All I want is joy, all I want is peace
Your words and miracles are all I believe
I've tried oh Lord, grant me my relief
...

How long is the river
How deep is the sea
Just as they could flow forever
Would you do the same with me
...
