Until I Can No More

By Gracious Egedegbe

I am not going to pretend I don’t know you

Because I know you as well as I know myself

Question is: “How much do I know of myself?”

These days I find myself wanting you

Wanting your approval, wanting your smile

It’s beginning to turn into an addiction

They say not all addictions are bad

I say not all sayings are true

Sometimes I wonder what defines truth

So I am back to you

I mean my back is turned to you

But my heart still turns to you

After all said and “poemed”

I am still not going to ignore you

I will just watch you… until I can no more
