I Swear - Part 2

The louder I yelled, the tighter he held The more I chocked, the deeper he clawed The more it pained, the more he maintained Ah! Makwapa, My Ex, is amazing And when they lost the match With nothing to watch I saw him fetch a stick And off, my feet begun I swear! They ran down the hill That way away I ran But now I know, Makwapa My Ex can run like a hunter My best was his worst And his worst, my best Ladies and gentlemen My Ex has the biggest hand He grabbed me again and I begged He lifted me in the air Potus Makwapa, my love, Said I You said I smell like heaven Valentine, my chaff, said he But Now, you smell like hell! Like a wrestler in horror And the walls came down crushing It’s NOT fair, I swear He was my Ex and you are my next You quote the saints And torch my heart This letter is poetry too With rhyme and charm, and witchcraft of words Sweat sugar as though there were bitter sugar Honey pie, please. Am I a bee? My evergreen Pumpkin, Since when? The angel of heaven, give a break! I am Valentine, a Mortal Tell me truth and nothing better more If you lay your hand on me, speak it on bended knee When I shall choke you and strike your face Baby I will suture and soothe it back When I shall ambush you and cut your face I will pay the doc’s bill For every pint of blood to stain my hands I will say sorry For all the broken limbs I shall scatter Darling I will seek them and return them When I shall throw you down the balcony I will run down the stairs and pick your body Sweet Heart While at it, if you die I will write your epitaph My Words of undying Love Great poetry the world will marvel Now, I’m down on bended knee You are all I need, Can’t go on without you Will you marry me? By the time you rise and find me gone You will hear my name sounding at the square The graduate who said NO to what she knew I swear!
