I Don’t Love You

The look on your face
That anxious look
Waiting for me to tell you
Those creepy words

I have no words for you
I’m as dead as a firewood.
I see nothing beyond
What we have built all these years.

I know you want
Those words from my mouth.
What do you want to hear?
And lemme tell you.

That I love you?
I’ll place you before all other things?
Well, I don’t love you.
I can’t force myself to lie.

Stop waiting for me
I’ve got plans for myself.
I don’t love you!
Depart from me.

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

Amuzu, this was not my post. I took a rest and Gerald sat in for me. Because he was in the moderating seat, he automatically became Amoafowaa on this platform. Just so we’re clear.

Unny how it happens. Love just ‘leaves you’ like that, without a trace of what had you infatuated by for so long. The rational mind must kik-in I suppose.

What? Like looking around to find it in someone else, or maybe find it on a hike or in a museum? My husband just told me after all these years he didn’t love me . I mean what tripp is HE on. Jeez. What kind of love is that?

Well some people take the life/train metaphor too far, and start thinking that to get to a new place you need to need a tunnel. Think you more need the courage to get off the train completely and admit love is everywhere, and be with theperson/people you love, have a laugh with, and live your love without imaginary restrictions.
