Me Poem by Oluwatosin Thomas

I
Let me share a tale with you,
I once lived in a house where love seemed to be the landlord.
But over time, the clouds poured out its fogs,
As i waited in expectance of rain, only for tears to spree forth.
II
The landlord waa a tortoise in skin of a fox,
Has he all the time formed a sarcastic smile.
But beneath, hate and quietness already evacuated my marks from hus heart.
Words ceased from my lips, fear of unknown raised my brows.
III
I decided to move on and love me!
He asked just to gain certainty to his puzzled mind,
Are you seeing someone else? I said Yes !
What is her name? I said nothing.
IV
Is it another woman? I said No !
Is it a man? I said yes!
Man! How come? What is his name? I said Me!
V
His name is Me!
And his love seeps from the plain marks of Romeo and Juliet,
For the act to love you and love me is just a painful terrain of bloodless cycle.
And if I'm to choose between you two,
I aleeady chose me!
.
