I Know I Can't Stop My Heart From Being Broken

I may not have what it takes

To keep my heart from being broken

But if I can't mend the shattered pieces

I can at least pretend not to see

The sadness hidden within my tears

I have mastered the dance of lies

And the kisses that bruise my chick

Are flowered with the roses of betrayal

If tears are enough to wash my pains

I will be the happier than the denizens of Paradise

If there is healing in the wings of time

Let it flap its age across my swollen face

And take my bitterness to a faraway land

To a place where my weaken feet cannot carry me

I know I cannot stop my heart from being broken

Or mend its shattered pieces

But I can pretend not to see

The sadness hidden in my tears.

Poet Oloyede
