The Grace Of Goodbye Poem by Raimi Babatunde

You didn't write my story
You got fooled by the smiles
I just want to talk
If only you will hear my story
It was a sweet, bitter story
His pride, arrogance and temperament
If only you know what women face
But you didn't write my story...

No one ignores a true friend
There is always time
For the one you adore
Now, the hour has come
Please, let's tell your story
That the world may hear
And see he is two-faced
And he is well respected...

It started as a love story
A typical Cinderella Story
I could cross the ocean for him
I ignored the red flags
Until it started like a joke
He slaps me in public
At a time, it seemed romantic
Especially when we make up

We built our union on sex
Anytime my Baby wants down
The Lion in him emerges
Is this love or infactuation?
Countless abortions I did
Then the Doctors broke the news
You'll never have kids again
But I was willing to die for him

Oh! How beautiful he looks
A ladies man any day
But there was a devil within
Tell no one about us
I don't want third parties
I believed him intoto
I was just a big fool
The lies of a gameboy

I love you with all my heart he says
But King Solomon was a leaner
When you compare their escapades
He starts as a satyr
Then he became a roue
He was a confined libertine
But I still loved him
Even though he put me at risk

After years of waiting
He suddenly found an Angel
I waited for him all my life
Helped him achieve milestones
I thought it was for us
But he had a perfect plan
I can't marry you
We don't do inter-tribals

I have made mistakes
I have attempted the worse
I have lost friends
But above all these
I have learnt my lessons
Where do I go from here?
Forward! New life, new joys
Who knows, true love will come

But why didn't you walk away?
You endured, gave all for nothing
But today, you told your story
And I am happy I listened
For in yours, others will find strength
If it is not reciprocated, pls walkaway
Any decision you take on sentiment
You'll end up regretting
Receive the grace of goodbye
