I was on my own, minding my business
Just patching my fragile heart
I so hated love, God is my witness
I knew love was a mistake from the start

I've know love was a burden to carry
Tethered to my job and life, they were all I had
My mates in love went on to marry
I was far from ready, then came Richard

He came to the picture, preaching the love sermon
I laughed him to scorn and severally turned him down
All men are devils, he was more like a righteous demon
At least the best devil I knew around town

My heart made a lot of sacrificial adjustments
My mind leaned on the pillars of his manifesto
I felt we were just meant
For each other, and we were good to go

Fast forward, its been seven terrible years
I've been suspended on an orgasmic whirlpool
Same old Devil, my eyes still swam in tears
Richard! You are a fool, but I'm the bigger fool

Tell me what good I haven’t done for him in life
Yet he ran with my money and dumped me in agony
After six abortions, he left for Ghana to get a wife
But one good day, I took a decision on my balcony

Anger drove me to gather intelligence underground
So I traced him to a rented apartment in Accra
The door wasn’t locked, I heard noisy sex sound
Walked calmly to the room stepping on pant and bra

His wife was screaming in ecstasy, I picked a knife in the kitchen
Went back and stabbed him uncontrollably on his chest
Goose pimples all over his wife like a featherless chicken
I used the bloody knife to put her to rest

She was the only witness to what went down
I pictured the scene until I was empty with no soul
Immediately I flew out of town
Only God can forgive my heart, this heap of coal

I remember
in pool of my tears and his blood
I cried
DIE! RICHARD DIE...
