Do I
by Adetokunbo Hussain
Do I disappoint you?
Perhaps because of my words
or maybe it’s the lack of it?
Do I disappoint you?
By what I did or do?
or perhaps what I didn’t?
Am I the one you want me to be?
Am I your type of guy
or perhaps the stand by?
Do I disappoint you
or do I disappoint me?
Am I a prisoner begging to be free?
Was I a prisoner of my own emotions?
Was my love so insignificant to you?
As a single grain or a drop in the ocean.
Do I disappoint you, when you look in my eyes
and when I look in yours.
I only see unspoken love and closed doors.
‘An open rebuke is better than hidden love’.
Rebuke me now, rebuke me now if you may.
Before I walk away, from my love of yesterday.
