JYF + Frederick Ebo Hinson = #Broken

The day you left

 I held a parrot in my hand

 And I asked it

 "How much do you think I hurt?"

 It answered

 "You hurt so much

 You hurt everywhere."

 First it all began

 When I looked into the diary we wrote

 You remember you wrote on 14th February

 "I love you so much

 I wish I can give you my life."

 You remember the bells that towed

 When we sat on the bench at the church

 Holding our hands so close

 That I could feel the blood circulating through your veins.

 You remember when we used to walk in the dark

 Hiding our love because they said

 We were too young to know what love is

 But we muttered under our breathe

 "They just don't know how we feel inside

 They don't know how it feels

 For the moon to fall in the arms of the star."

I remember those days when you used to tell me my arms were like heaven

 When you used to tell me my cologne smells like the smoke that the burnt offering of our love produced

 Now I can bet you would say that it smells like the korle lagoon

 I was told by you that I am the only one

 The only man

 I felt like God

 The alpha and omega of your love

 Now look at me, so wretched

 I regret ever standing in the shadow of your love

 But for love's sake, I want you back.

JYF
