Poetic Justice (Take a Break)
<blockquote>A fatal attraction is common, and what we have common is pain…" – Kendrick Lamar</blockquote><p><br/></p><p>I dreamt of a love story with holy endings:</p><p>either “<em>To God Be the Glory</em>” written across its final page,</p><p>or “<em>And they lived forever happily after</em>” whispered in eternity.</p><p>But fate, it seems, had a third option hidden in its sleeve—</p><p>an ending no heart rehearses for.</p><p><br/></p><p>This should have been spoken, not written,</p><p>for words on paper cut deeper than sound.</p><p>But maybe you no longer want to hear me,</p><p>maybe your silence prefers the safety of eyes over ears.</p><p><br/></p><p>Months stretch like a fragile rope,</p><p>an “<em>almost another birthday</em>” season,</p><p>and here we dangle, two tired climbers</p><p>clinging to knots that keep slipping loose.</p><p>We patched the leaks like amateur plumbers,</p><p>chasing after flow,</p><p>but the water always escaped.</p><p>You, the GOOD girl.</p><p>Me, the BAD boy.</p><p>Together, painting UGLY in colors too vivid to ignore.</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/images_17.jpeg"/></p><p>I confess: I broke what I could never build again.</p><p>Even the hands of a master could not mend this ruin.</p><p>So let’s not act anymore.</p><p>Let’s not rehearse joy on a stage of sorrow.</p><p>Truth is here, and it whispers: <strong>This is not going anywhere.</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>You—youthful, radiant, brilliant.</p><p>Your beauty gathers suitors in queues</p><p>longer than fuel scarcity lines in Lagos.</p><p>I see it. You feel it.</p><p>Their presence shadows me, even online.</p><p>And though you may still love me,</p><p>your mind has already drifted,</p><p>like a kite cut loose,</p><p>slowly shrinking from my sky.</p><p><br/></p><p>I doubt I ever made you laugh out loud,</p><p>but you made me smile daily—</p><p>even through pain,</p><p>even through storms.</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/images_16.jpeg"/></p><p>So take a break.</p><p>Breathe.</p><p>Choose joy, even if it comes from another man’s arms.</p><p>Remember—you belong to your own world,</p><p>and I, I am just a stranger from Mars,</p><p>orbiting too far from your sun.</p><p><br/></p><p>I will always love you,</p><p>but I will not cage you.</p><p>Not when joy waits at the door you deserve to open.</p><p><br/></p><p><em>Kisses</em>,</p><p><strong>BigDan</strong></p><p><br/></p>
