Love After Heartbreak Poem by Modou Lamin Age-Almusaf Sowe

I got grief in my eyes

Salt in my knees, sugar in my blood, hurt but still laugh

Fall in love but still love you, but love isn't kind

Musa, go but never mind

I shouted for a voice, not mine

Jumped ahead of time

I cried tears of patrol, seen nights full of you

Burnt into ashes, I hate the news broadcast

Tell that to the weather forecast

Some things are better off forgotten

But I better not forget you

I wished I never knew a version of love like yours

Do you wanna know how many times I tore myself apart?

Does it make you feel alive?

To break my heart

I had to die to finally let you go

The sun misses me out b'cos of your moon

To me, every morning is not noon, even this afternoon

A story gets rewritten so blasphemous

But I made Jesus walk, I am not afraid to go to hell

And you were so perfectly imperfect, but I love your imperfections

Bae,

I felt an exasperation of pain inside my abdomen

Your love was such a bad omen

But I loved you with all the torments

Reminiscing the moments of love

We kissed, the places we visited, the food I cooked for you

You met me heartbroken

You loved me and left me broken

Is this what love is all about?

After all the feelings you've awoken

I've got parts of me I'm trying to lose

My love for you, even GRTS cannot news

 I got my imperfections but love is not perfect

My love has scars I can't hide

This pain I cannot write

Hold on Bae!

Am tryna put you on the shelf to myself

But the voices in my head

Made me so sick in bed

But before I end, I cannot bend, I must, but pen

Depression and anxiety

Kept externally, surfaced on the outside

I need to learn to love myself before I can fall in love

I can't hold your heart when I'm fixing mine

 I wish you were mine

You know you got the key to my heart

Why break the padlock? 

If I ain't claiming your kingship tell me who deserves the title

I'm Oumie, am not Isatou, why date Fatou?

Your throat dry from the pain she puts you in

But you still love me and you know I sink you in

I'm inhuman for us humans

If I were not a witch, I would have been eaten by GAMBIAN lizards

I love you so much and is the picture I paint

Love me with all my imperfections

Much as you would like me to do the same for you
