WHY DID YOU FALL FOR ME?

by

It was your smiles;

Always bright and warm,

That made me fall.

Lol

nice story...I'm in

and...

Thanks☺

I still laugh at my crazy rhyme,

When I think of my day with fire,

'Stop playing near the fire,' my mother cried,

But I was too consumed by my gaily confidence.

The fire sparked and on me it spilled,

Burnt by its spit, my young eyes teared,

But I couldn't let my mother know,

For I felt shamed caught by my stupidity.

As mothers are mothers, she felt my discomfort

'What is wrong,' she asked

Ridden by shame, I helplessly cried the words

'Na lie O, No be fire O, I dey cry O.'

Better late than sorry...a late joiner but I'm enjoying the story...waiting for more

still waiting on that decision☺

I love the story...fingers crossed, waiting for more

It's only instinct,
to stay away from danger
and yet with you,
my instincts are wrong;
always leading me to you,
a self-destructing machine.



I thought opposites were meant to attract,
why then is the chemistry wrong for me?
you and I are so alike,
each a timed bomb;
with our souls a wreck
and our hearts a riddled puzzle
each of us a self-destructing machine;
with our mind a maze of pain
and our body a broken machine.



I guess they were right afterall,
two negatives does make a positive
'cause as far as puzzles go,
you and I are a perfect match.

I let the screams,
crush me,
drown me
until eventually,
it emptied me.
I found it almost
easy,
to scream
and let my anger
run wild.
To yell at everything,
and at nothing at all.
And just for tonight,
ask that one question,
that one scary truth;
that big question mark
I never allowed myself
to ask.
The huge what if,
that scary what if;
what if today
was all there was
and there's no better
tomorrow?
Just today,
the only tomorrow i have
and the only yesterday i'll ever have?
what if?

If you like it, please like and share. It'll really help me. Thank you and God bless!

means forever�

It's 2am,
my eyes are red and puffy,
and my heart is heavy with pain.
I dialled your number,
'coz it's only fair;
you made ne so,
this sick girl with an insomnia.


But you didn't pick,
no matter how much I tried.
You let the phone ring,
mercilessly,
like how you let me bleed,
from the scratches you left on my heart.



A vampire, that's what you are;
the monster lurking in the dark.
A dark knight, that's what you've become;
with a cold heart and a dark soul.



It's only right you take responsibility,
for the stolen heart and the aching soul,
'coz it's only fair,
you made me so,
this sick girl with a numbless pain.



A big, bad wolf, that's what you are;
running away from the mayhem alone.
A psycho, that's what you've become;
hiding behind the shield of sanity.



This girl, who's always calling,
this girl, who's always waiting,
this girl, who's always sorry,
this girl, I would kill today.



So let's make a toast,
to the girl who was never understood,
by the man she loved unconditionally.

He was but a child,
when he watched his mother and sisters,
molested by beasts
and watched his father
get killed,
by the sharpness
of the sword of his helplessness,


He saw his friends,
ravaged by fear;
no doubt in a similar dilemma.
and life as he knew it,
wrecked in seconds,
to filth and trash.


He went hungry for days,
with hardly anything
but water to sustain his young body.
and his feet,
sore and wounded;
from the endless walk
towards salvation.

His heart was heavy,
from this obvious betrayal
of a soceity
sworn to protect
his childhood.

Forgiveness?
how could they ask that from him?

He was but a child,
and they stole his childhood.
he had dreams,
which they crushed contemptibly.
he had hopes,
but they were killed completely.


And now all he has is;
the air in his lungs,
the strength of his faith
and the will to survive.

Forgiveness?
How can they ask that of a weeping soul?
