I Lost All

I lost all my favorite people to death/ that is why broken smiles sleep on face/ that is why i am always lonely in a room full of people I lost all my favorite people to death/ mom was the first missing angel/ whose face was never pictured by me Dad became our next mother/ whose life painted joy in our fragile hearts/ But took a tour with death in 2017 I saw darkness roaming our backyard/ cries broke in through the window pane/ we fell off like an iroko tree I lost all my favorite people to death/ aunt too became a victim/ they said she had suffered from African sign Beautiful souls having an affair with the red earth/ tearing me apart like a broken pavement/ how I wish to plant kisses on their foreheads
