Withered Roses

In 2015, I was in your DM
With so many messages, hoping you’ll see them
With a great personality, hoping we could be friends
Hoping you’ll be aware of my existence

In 2016, I was at your heart
Hoping you’ll open for me, hoping I’ll be part
Of your symphony and your thought
Hoping you’ll have fond feelings for me a lot
Despite the fact that you’re a snot
And so you did, I was overwrought


In 2017, We were lovers of the year
Never saw each other cry or shed a tear
Because seeing each other down was our greatest fear

But at a point, we were no longer in love
I knew a third party was involved

14th February 2018, I was at your door
Knocking vehemently, watching you ignore

I looked smart and wore fragrance
Full of ambition and importance
But what was the essence
Of dressing to this extent?

“Maybe you went on a date with him”
Says a voice from within

Or maybe you locked up yourself, reading!
I know you woke up to withered roses by your doorstep
They were still fresh when I brought them

In 2019 and beyond
I won’t be the one
That’ll be referred to as “Your Own”
I’ll be gone…

The Girl I Couldn't Love

She and I were close but not like stores after 10pm She was an angel whenever we talked in the DM She was fierce, if you happened to meet her for real Then you'd gladly wish her bad side was just surreal An introvert, she hated everyone that ever crossed her path For this, I believed our friendship would never come apart She was great yet her good qualities were engulfed by her bad ones They say one day she'll change and that's what even her Dad wants She told me about her feelings for me in ways I couldn't comprehend That was really sad because honestly, I only loved her as a friend She was furious at me, eventually our friendSHIP started to SINK There was a change in her behavior yet I couldn't understand a thing I wish she understood my reasons before proceeding to hate me too. I could have made my motives known only if she had let me to. To be sincere, I never dreamt of us ever being mere enemies. So I took the responsibility of avoiding co...

Personality

My name is Jude Umoren and I’m not a bad person My recent strange behaviors results from past lessons Don’t judge my life by the chapter you walked in on Because I’ve good and bad days just like everyone I pretend I’m a good singer and also wish I could dance I don’t hold grudges because I’ve got my future in my hands I hate complications so I try making my life simple I’m an introvert and extrovert, it differs with people The only open relationship I have is between me and my bed I’m a victim to depression that without grace, I’d be dead I fall in love faster than you’d fall into a swimming pool I’m too sensitive and just like most people, I hate school Sometimes I walk into a room and wonder why I even came in I can do bad things too but my excuse is home training I’ve lost so many friends because of my honest opinions I know they’ll come back once I start making my millions And if after all these you don’t still like me, Jude Then the problem isn’t me, it’s ...

Yours Hopefully

 Last night I laid in bed with my face gazing at the ceiling. Tears rolled to my ears as only I knew what and how I was feeling But sometimes I wonder what my pillow thinks every night Knowing it supports my head every time yet I still don't end up alright But how can I explain to an inanimate object what letting out is That I convert my pain to liquid and then send them as tears Weeks ago I got on a call with my cousin and he asked for some cash He has always been helpful to me so I felt bad telling him I didn't have Funny enough I had thought of calling him for some financial assistance But he called first and I disappointed him that instant "It's okay brother, soon we'll look back at moments like this and laugh", he said My eye balls got wet to his encouraging words, hopeful yet I cried instead  Today I got a mail from a job I was interviewed months ago to resume in two days Here I lay in bed soaking my pillow again, but I'm sure it understands these ar...
