BANKRUPT LOVE

The bank of love had become bankrupt

My heart was held hostage in manacle

 Like a prisoner, my blood ran riots

The impulse escalated in pounce

As if I was sentenced to death by crucifixion

Having delayed justice with denial

It crippled fairness with lying lips

Painting its walls with fake colours

The faces are mutilating as odours

My patience had been stolen

Like a bank hijacked by bandits

Or like suspects being arrested by naija police

I couldn’t bail myself quickly

Because I was deficient of companionship

And luck angrily ran against me

Hence, I became allergic to romance

My immunity had traveled untraceably

So swiftly, like a jet plane losing its altitude

Like a red wine, I need you to sip

So I can without stress go for a sleep

Your love had given my heart a hard bite

All with venom I couldn’t resist

Now, it’s taking me for it so cheaply

give me power to fight  so i can defeat
