You Deserved It All
Toluwalope Olugbenga Ogunlesi


YOU DESERVED IT ALL

Everywhere my walk leads me
Trees long plundered by harmattan
Sprout the words I should never
Have spoken to you.
I should have kept them
Deep in the mines of my mind
Where emotions rage like molten ore

But that Saturday night
I reached
Down the cold lonely shafts
Narrow as oesophagus
A desperate prospector for the anger
Eating at me like an ulcer

I thought of the sense
Of accomplishment I�d gain
Bringing everything to the surface
To scald you just a bit, pay you
Back for treating me bad
But it was hotter than I thought

Or you were more fragile
Than I believed
So now I hold you in my hands
Black ash like burnt paper
Even when I whisper
I�m sorry, my breath blows you
Away into the wind.

I have damaged you
And me even more
A hole lies on the surface
Of my mind, where the words
Spurted out

Still you treated me bad
Like an appendix
So I will spend
My days
Convincing myself
You deserved it all
