THE FOLLOWING POEM WAS SELECTED IN WINGWORD POETRY PRIZE 2023 LONGLIST.
You love me, I can't digest it.
Why would you, what you see in me?
Is this your way to humiliate me?
Make me stand in front of the crowd.
Accept I was a fool to think you were into me.
Would that give you satisfaction?
Would that make you popular in the jungle?
You took my love for granted.
Acted like we got along.
No wonder you were pretending to make me yours.
You acted so good I felt this could be forever .
But,
I almost believed you trusted you
After a long fight with logic I embraced you.
I am sorry I doubted my brain.
Look heart this happened again.
Next time I won't argue, just listen to my brain.
Hey did you see that guy he winked at me today.
No brain heart is right we should have a taste.
Not again.
Heart not again.
