A Heart Divided Poem by Osaya Evbuomwan

Days of agony, nights of pain,
Trying to understand this love we share,
Am I flawed, or is it you, who's vain?
A common thread, yet you seem unaware.

I wanted to grow old, to build a life,
To remove the burdens that weigh you down,
But your anger, it cuts like a knife,
In the eyes of others, I wear the frown.

I'm emotional, yes, for the one I adore,
I'd give my all, my very essence,
But love requires more than just a score,
It needs respect, and your presence.
