Do You Really Love Me? Poem by Obiaeli Ifediirichukwu Victor

A mind question a lover asks
Sometimes answered
Most times fluttered
Fluttered in deception
Like a bird flapping it's wings
So does lips move in answer
In answer to a mind bothering question
In answer to most ill fated reasons
Whenever a question like such lingers
There's barely a chance at love
Barely a chance
Not even a kiss
A kiss from the heart but false
Neither a wink
A wink from muscular eye lids but tense
Nor a hug
A hug selling you off
You lust after him when he does not answer to the question
You know he loves you when he answers the question from deep the mind's heart
How to know if he plucked the answers from the grounds of his heart
And not from the rivers of his lips
Knowing that is left for you not me
Do not go chasing the water falls
Do not go moving too fast
You might get cut down
Like a bird speeding into a trap
