Poetry: Empty your mind

by Olaronke Falade

Created on: June 16, 2009

My hearts clings to those moments

My soul clings to them

I ask myself why?

Why is it that a kiss lingers on in my mind

Months after you've had it?

More annoying is that you refuse to accept the person

Why is it that sometimes

I don't want to talk to anybody

I just fell like being at peace with myself

Why is it that he doesn't understand

your desire to just have him beside

Without wanting nothing more

Why is it that sometimes

I wish my thoughts were reality

Some other times I pray they never come to existence

Why is it that sometimes

we make promises

That we know we will

never fulfill.

Why is it that you fail to understand

What I want

What I need and

What I desire.
