Ife Lakoja Ofin
(Series: Half of the dream broke with her)
I know I’ve gotten involved with you
Risking my head to your father’s house
Surrounded by thousands of soldiers
But loving someone you don’t have right to love
A very severe punishment in life
For you:
Despite thousands of experiences
Despite thousands of women
I’ll hunt planets for you
Fight like all other madmen in the forest of your heart.
Between you & me
Wind & cloud
Thunder & lightning
Snow & fire
I know that reaching your eyes is an illusion
I know that reaching you is suicide
Living longer is me not falling in love with you
I keep loving you after knowing all that
Your love is suicidal
Let my death come from your lips - not from your father’s army
Let me lay my final rest on your arms - not in bloodshed
