Void


  • Void does not exist
  • Not when I got you
  • Or let me say ....your pictures
  • You never loved me
  • ' was at peace with that
  • You didn't want me
  • At times l doubted that
  • Felt so real, yes so real
  • The way u painted  my lips with scarlet glosses
  •  And gave me a feeling of fullness in my tummy 
  • Void doesn't exist
  • Not in my heart
  • Neither in yours 
  • Hate  me all you like
  • You don't run with shoes on spikes
  • Am grateful for our baby
  • We can both hold him at night
  • At times l loathe you
  • But then l understand 
  • Blessing in disguise 
  • You never ceased blowing my mind 
  • Void doesn't exist
  • Ain't no empty spaces here
  • You clouded my brains
  • Held me by the reins
  • Overloaded my head, am lost for words
  • Do I look dumb enough to be empty? 
  • After all the memories we made like a clock counting seconds 
  • A void doesn't exist
  • You made sure I had a sense of  belonging in life
  •
