Last Lovers Poem by Chukwuebuka Adebayo

Do you still play it in your head?
When your eyes are closed in thoughts
Hand in hand and a spark in heart;
I loved you and never thought of it twice.
Nobody of us ever prayed for this to end,
Now my dear we wish we could start over again.
I remember thinking you would be the one;
Never knew you were on different path
We were always planning a lasting family,
and now you'll have that with someone else.
You're not my wife and i'm not your husband;
we're just the last lovers to break their bounds.



Do you remember what you said to me?
You said you would die before you quit;
But I can't knock my feeling of emptiness
I lost all myself trying to find you;
Now i feel like i'm dying but i can't die;
I feel been heard without even talking
And breathing when i know i'm not alive
Stuck in between every thoughts and memories
I've lost in love, Lost in school and everything
Thoughts of you brings me a stab and knots in my stomach.
I wonder Why you couldn't have stayed?
Why was I never good enough for you.
I don't know where to turn or go from here;
But i'll give love one more try... I'll loved right this time.
