I Love Your Too Much | Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu

POEM 197: I LOVE YOUR TOO MUCH (Pidgin English) Dem tell me sey make I no try am Sey you no be my type. Sey your shakara e too much Me I love your too much. 'Shoot your shot' na my mantra As I fire na so I trap am Nne your green light no be wash Me I like your too much Morning, noon and even' time Na tinini tanana You colobi my thoughts so much Me I love your too much If you leave me I go die o I swear down, I no dey lie o Sugar kills if you lick am too much Me I love your too much. E too dey sweet and e fit kill But this kain death naim dey sweet me Nwànyì ómà na-átò útò Me I love your too much. Earth to moon I fit to crawl o Nothing wey I want again o Your love dey make my head touch Me I love your too much. #365DaysOfPoetry #Pengician #SSA Enjoyed reading?
