'Emotionally Disabled' by Ezeokoye Vanessa Onyinye

The storm wavers not anymore

The streamed spring flows not anymore

The intense feelings all depreciated

Why not come and make my soul free again?

I have loved

But losing you is the case

You’re shady with a heart of gold

Same way you fling me

And I crave in the rave

I could offer you commas not zeros

If only your stream of love would flow not flaw

U have put a hinge on my soul

And what you committed is foul

Have you seen a lone man who dies from protuberance?

I have died,

Died as a result of,

The protuberance of an empty loneliness

You have sequestrated my heart from my body

And I have forfeited so much

My esurience for your love is vehement

And you’ve left me floating on the stream

I now quizzically murmur on the street

Abandoned with the empty feeling of ostracisation

You left me to love another lover

Why not come and make my soul free again???
