Love Knocks On the Wrong Door
I never wanted Love
No one had spoken well about it
It looked good
Felt sooooo good
But it had its way
It often shattered those who opened their doors it
Shattered them beyond recognition
How can something that looks so good, feels like heaven leave one crawling on knees with bones shattered?
I told myself
Never open your door to the cunning Love
I made sure I kept it that way
One busy day as I went about my work
What looked like Love knocked on my door
It was an extremely busy hot day
I looked at Love
It looked so beautiful
I reached out
Touched Love
It felt so relieving, so great!
I remembered my promise to myself
I pulled my hands away
Stepped back
Shuddered, what had I done?
As I started shutting the door
Love reached out and held the door
Pushed its head through the door
My breath stopped midway
I felt a mild current run through my body
Oh, Love!
How can I react to you this way?
Helpless, I let Love in
The biggest mistake ever
Love bit me like a rat
Blew air over the wound
It pinched me and kissed the pain away
It beat me to pulp and nursed me back to health with passionate romance
Ayenyo, how busy were you the other day to get distracted to an extent of letting Love in?
Did Love cast a spell on you?
How insane did it make you go?
Wake up Ayenyo
Wake up!
In my drowsiness
Love almost took everything away from me
One day, Love slapped me so hard
So hard that the entire galaxy appeared before me
I gave it one long hard stare, spat on its face, and walked out within a heartbeat
Walked away without ever looking back
Today, something that looks like love is back
Its eyes are different
They are soft
When this Love whispers my name
A very strong current fills my entire body
When it walks in, I sense it before turning
It hasn't pushed itself forth
I have told him his brother was here
I have told him I don't want his kind ever again
I heard you are the same
I heard you are one person who keeps changing
"I am different Ayenyo"
"Give me a chance"
I heard that is your way
You are soft and loveable in the beginning
Once accepted, you grow horns and hurt us
"When i am around you, what do you feel?", Love asked
