One Typical Day Poem by Melanie Emikohe
One Typical Day
I haven't asked for Love
but it was offered;
knocked and begged
before my proud doorsteps
to be taken and kept
like an abandoned cat.
Although indifferent,
I had it welcomed
for the sake of such
a tremendous patience.
A pity becomes love,
becomes fidelity,
becomes obsession.
One typical day,
when you felt
too sure of me,
you just, without warning
left.
