One time

 One time

I loved the gods of the sea

I couldn’t tell what I was thinking

I just was in love with the stream.

Today, I just show love to myself by sitting on the toilet seat.

My legs tapping and making beat.

My head running through memories that almost made me a beast. 

Tomorrow, I would be by the lake side, looking at moon say goodbye.

Next tomorrow, I shall wear my best attire 

My heart would be far from where I shall reside, but no one would know. 

I am the one that gives the lots some hope.

 The day after, I shall be on a bus, reading the story I love. 

I shall do all my work, then return home to be in my thoughts. 

Long after long, I shall be overwhelmed, I shall said lesser words, yet there would be noises in my head. 

By past 5 on Thursday, I would shut the door to my room, I would sit by the foot of my bed. 

I would play some slow tunes, I will drown in my thoughts. 

I will weep non stop. 

After 3 hours, I shall step out looking undone, I shall pick up my book and re write an old song. 

Baby, don’t cry. Joy shall come in the morning. 

On and on, I shall go. 

Just one time, I want to go to a place I know. 

Shut my eyes and laugh. 

There is the happiness that never came back after some long years. 

It doesn’t matter, you know, there isn’t joy anywhere on this earth. 

Joy baby, baby don’t cry. 

As I bid you farewell, I’d like for you to know that I actually cried — OLU.
