I cut myself with a knife today
Same knife we used to open that bottle of red wine.
When you came over last Wednesday
Remember?
When we fed the dog, the dog that became mine after feeding it Suya thrice at our favourite spot
But, back to why I cut myself today.
I was celebrating. I didn't reach out to you again today
Tough nail that I am
They didn't get me but the "you miss me, right?" stuck
Why did I cut myself with the knife today?
It's day two but I can only remember your plate number
And how considerate you were by making sure the guards and my neighbours don't have a wrong impression of me.
As I cut myself with that knife today, I was reminded of that night I told you i love coconuts and how I often cut myself while getting to the goodies in them.
Ah! I remember your smile but I'm a big girl, I'll forget that too
I fall too easily for flowery words
A terrible discovery
Been broken too many times by that flaw
Not anymore
Men ought to practice those words in the mirror
Better still, try them on your relatives before you share those absurdities and assurances you can't fulfill with someone's daughter.
