I am Sorry By: Isa Abass Usman

Every time I see the pain in your eyes
A little part of my heart dies
No matter how hard and how often you try
All I seem to do is make you cry.

You risk so much and take such chance
To share your heart and your romance,
You share your hopes and dreams and fears
And let me in to all that's dear.

All I seem to do is be mean and cold
To fail to cherish, fail to hold
I seem to fail to put you first
You act your best, I am my worst.

My mouth contradicts my heart
My actions and thoughts so far apart,
I love you with every part of me
Yet act so cruel and thoughtlessly.

I dream of you all night and day
And hang on every word you say,
Yet all you see is selfishness and arrogance
Casual disdain and ignorance.

Assumption and judgment and every thing's a test
No matter what you do you're always second best,
No matter how hard you try it's never enough
I never hear your protestations of love.

I say I love you and cherish all of our dreams
Yet act as if I can't hear your screams
Of need and want and stability and trust
My plans never materialize, my promises rust.

I scream at myself at how stupid I am
For risking your love, for risking your hand
And I pray every day that you never see
that I need you more than you need me.

I bare my heart and my soul to you

To say sorry for what I did and for what I do,

I have no excuses and hide no more
All I can offer is my love for evermore.

Painted their soul with my flowers. Left my prints on their canvas. Their rough lines, I made into edges Cracks I filled with my energy. I wanted them to be art. I made them my art. I gave too much. They left me empty. ©Similafleur

Touching Story

One day something tragic happened. The woman as usual, left the baby in the "hands" of this faithful cat and went out shopping. When she returned, she discovered rather a nasty scene, there was a total mess.

SEX-ESCAPADE

Relationship goals to some is dating with fine sex, but some of us dont take our time to check our partners before going into "it". Sexually transmitted diseases are flying around now and it’s like most of us don’t even pay attention to them. Sad, but had to be said. Tunde started dating Nina. She was beautiful, fair skinned and petite. "Portable babe", he called her whenever he boasts to his friends about her. Little did he know what he was getting himself into. He said she was so free with him, gave him anything he wanted. In his mind, he thought he was using her, but he noticed she kept coming back for more which fuelled his male ego.
