The Sadness Of This Love Poem by Olufunke Ayeni

We are in some kind of sick love story
the kind that lacks a happy ending
the two of us...victims of a bad writer
he just keeps spinning tales that end nowhere

Today I stood at the shore and looked far ahead
Like I was looking for something I had lost
a lover perhaps, but you were right beside me
looking with me...helping me search for you

Last night whilst I lay besides you
I felt like there were a million walls between us
Something tells me you feel so too
for you prefer to sweeten yourself than ask me for a little sugar

I just want to snatch the pen and rewrite this tale
no I'ld actually separate it...me from you, you from me
I'ld cancel the first meeting and the lust I mistook for love
I'ld probably change location to a place where divorce ain't so foreign
I'ld rewrite the whole sadness of this love

I'ld rewrite it all and be free from not living.
