Elegy for a love refuse to cradle – Temi Ademikanra

Again

I’m refusing to try.

So you’ll never hear me say:

I’m craving love.

1 know deep in me that I’ve made a mistake

And that

Refusing to care anymore will ease my pain.

I don’t believe

There is perfect love;

I’m ashamed of love.

So you’ll never hear me say:

I’ll try again.

Poet’s Note: Read upwards, dear reader.
