Burdensome Love

You say you love me!

So you take my heart and stop my blood flow, for fear that it might beat for another!
You scar my face so non other but you may behold my beauty!
You pull me down verbally for fear that I might rise above you!
You drain my self esteem because you know what she that resides inside me can do!
You cage me for fear that I might discover myself!
And you bruise my soul, so I can never love myself!

Your love is my greatest burden!
And this I must offload!
The flower in me begs to bloom!


By Nnenna Uzor

Your love is my greatest burden!
