You use to floss me to
your pals
Now you just toss me
like a fifty kg bag of cement
Sometimes you avoid me
as plague
Other times you
embrace me like keg
A month ago we were
the perfect sync
Dotting on each other
like a hen fusses over the chick
Holding hands in
public, texting all week
Missing each other
immediately we hugged bye
You used to meet me
coz u were in sheer awe
Now you do so out of
utter owe
Do you want me to
fight for you
Like rams over a ewe?
Ma heart races every
time I see you
You still have that tight
hold on me
Dangling both the
carrot and the stick
Teasing my mind to
click
Never for once having
a fight
Just being each
other’s light
Finding the flow,
rolling on the floor
Whispering the promise
of a grander tomorrow
How couldn’t have I seen
this coming?
So engrossed that I swallowed
the bait whole
Should have seen the
subtle hints
And taken the opportunity
to scuttle our bond
It wasn’t rocket
science
That my docket in the
alliance was untenable
Should have seen the
writing on the wall
The moment I hit the
wrong gong
Oh my Esther, as sweet
as an ester
Couldn’t you have
padded my fall
Not to land from erect
to eject
To wail over my tail which
still ail
