I had a friend
Who meant everything
I could go the extra miles
To be with this friend of mine
I could do the unimaginable
Just to let this friend of mine know
Or as an assurance of the things not seen
I had a friend.
who meant everything to me
I could be Jesus
And sacrifice my life for this friend of mine
Just, to make that face filled with so much joy
And make that heart filled with gladness
I had a friend
Who I loved to bits and more
Ye! more than the love I have for my mother
And close to the love I have for the Almighty
This friend of mine just needs to speak
And I'll race to her side
With the speed that's more than
lightening
Woe unto me!
My friend can't do the same
Oblivious to what I do and how I feel
Lackadaisical about things that happen to me
My emotion
Nonchalant to my cries for help
I became something I had dreaded for
longtime
A Shadow of Myself
Woe unto me
I delayed forging a path of my own
And had followed in the footprint
This friend of mine had left behind
Where these footprint leads is not somewhere bad
But it is not where I want to be
I still followed her anyway
I became something I shouldn't be
My Friend’s Shadow
I sit to embrace whatever my friend does
I've been neglected by this friend of mine
But I feared for the greater negligence
Accepting the fact that I've been neglected
I don't want to snap out of this facade.
I can't face the reality
Reality is cruel, so I thought
I took my friend's reality to be mine.
I contrived to zoom deeper into this facade
Chances came
Yoruba will say "Ona Abayo” (way out)
But I wanted in, didn’t want to go
Then I snapped
I died and resurrected
This friend of mine knew nothing
I snapped
When I saw my friend with someone else
I finally accepted reality
When I finally embraced the greater negligence.
I had a friend
Who I loved to bits and more
Ye! more than the love I have for my mother
And close to the love I have for the Almighty
I have come to terms with the fact that
This friend af mine loves me not
The question remains
Where should I start from?
