Icy Burns

He was my lover.. my hearts joy
We played together for years
Along the way I didn't mean to
I didn't intend to , but I fell in Love
But you see he had so many girls that were his friends
I was young and naïve.
But I knew love... and I felt it.

He was certainly a lot older...
But I didn't care.. he was all I had ever know,
So his friends.. you know the guys; and some corrupt girls too
started to change him
I couldn't take the pain So I went away
I needed to experience another kind of love,
Because this was starting to hurt
"I need a break form you" I told him You're changing...
you're becoming a monster.

I'll come back though when you realize you need me.
"Go ahead get away" he said ..really angrily .
You're not the first to leave me
I get that a lot ... yeah!, they all say they'll come back
But they never do
"I don't care what you do"
I went away.. I missed him
Every chance I got I sent him a letter
Every Chance I got I sent him my pictures.
I told him how well I was doing and how I missed him,
And how I realize his heart is my home.

"Anytime my love come home to me" I heard him say in my dreams
I was ready to go back and I looked at him and I screamed his name
NIGERIA what have you done to yourself
You have become cold and Icy and you burn me with your dark deeds.
Why Nigeria why do you bleed from your own cuts and words
My goodness you have killed so many people,
When did you become a murderer.

I cried for days.... months.... a year, I think
How am I supposed to heal with you?
How am I supposed to live with you?
Knowing you could wake up one beautiful morning
And decide you want me dead huh? Nigeria!
We need to work this out...
Let's work this out...
I want to come home to you ... I need you in my Life
I need you.. in my heart.. I need you in my thoughts...
I need you... and you need me...

A tale of two souls.

I killed myself in that lifetime
I killed myself because I could not bear to live with no other
He hurt too much I felt it in my long gone heart
He promised to find me...He yelled pounding his heart
"6 more lifetimes if I have to ...I'll find you my love
because my heart matches yours.

I looked for years. In my next lifetimes searching
Until technology helped me connect.
A friend said to me
"he's here I found him. The one you've been looking for I found him"
Tears don't belong to me, but tears filled my eyes as I kissed him in thin air

Like 2 perfect pieces of a heart broken in half
We connected on a zone on our plane.
We had our own world, our own language
"no army could keep us apart now" I said.
He's mine and I'll love him forever.

I cried cried because I spoke too soon
He still belonged to his army.
His allegiance was to the army
"not again" I screamed... I prayed
I need you I want you
I shouldn't complain right? Because I found him again right?
Well I had to complain I lost him last because of his allegiance
I pray not to loose him again

But I can't loose him... I mean I won't he's mine.

We had this lifetime to talk, to connect and so we did
Everything was perfect... perfect I say
Until. I let him go.

Yes(in tears) I let him go
His allegiance to the army... his life to the army
I cried for days, I cried for months.
I cried from the pain of searching so long, looking so hard
I cried from the pain of letting him go

Tell me you! What do you do when you let your soul mate go?
Do you hope you meet your other soul mate,
or do you hope that in some other lifetime his allegiance
will be to you to your heart.. to your soul

I hear you talking about finding the perfect one...your soul mate
Well I found mine...
And I let him go
