A Poem by, Didi Udofiah
The echoes of my love for you resonate like a cymbal fading away in the
distance
I was an eagle soaring high in freedom when you caught me and
placed me in the captivity of your pretentious love
I was your slave
and you became my master and you had me at your beckoning command
I was
blinded by my passion to love a wounded soul because I too once had
being wounded
I understood your pain and longed to be the one who
comforted you
I became your sanctuary and you used my soul as your
ointment to heal your pain
You heart was a ball bounced around hard
against life ill choices then thrown up for grasp
You grab me hard and
used me as your rebound until you strength filled your soul again then
you dropped me like I was nothing to you like a hot potato
The impact
of my fall has left me smashed up like broken glass unable to pick up
the pieces and move on
My heart cannot quit you cold turkey and every
time I try I go through severe withdraws like a drug addict desperately
searching for her next fix
Yes addicted, am addicted to you like a
baser on crack
Without you, am lost like a world traveler without a
map
I am incomplete without you, am like a jigsaw puzzles missing it
pieces
My life without you is like having menstrual pain 24/7 365 days
of the year
My heart is empty like a beautiful vase without freshly cut
flowers
I can no longer bare this burden of being your captive because
once again my soul has been wounded
Release me my love not as the
beautiful bird you found me but release my ashes because my love for you
as sent me to my grave
So release my ashes my love so from dust to
dust and ashes to ashes my soul can once again fly free
