Help! ! I Thought Love Don't Care Poem by Samuel Segun Toluwalase

I loved him
He loved me
He is Akim
I am Simbi

Since I was an infant
I have lived for another
Loved nature
Loved love

I am almost nineteen
And I have fallen in the pit of love
We are entangled in the deep love
Our hearts was one big hit

Something happened
Mother came, said she wanted to take me out
I did not bother
For she was my mother

We travelled far away
Somewhere up North
It was cold and not like anywhere I have been
Little did I know that I'd never return

You must be crazy
He is Muslim
And you Christian
‘Think girl' they both said

‘But our love real and deep' I said
‘That's not love oh child'
He can't understand you
And same for you too

You will live here and love here
We will find you a boy
A Christian boy
Help me

You that read, help! ! !
I thought love don't care
Does it?
