We met on 2go, your username fire-breather drew me in,
My name CUTee beauty was an easy conversation starter,
You asked if you could cut my beauty, I giggled shyly and asked in how many pieces?
Today like most days I wonder why those words made me smile,
Was it because I equated love with pain?
Maybe it was because I had just cut myself that morning in the bath tub.
I want to blame you for the ruins that is now my life, but I can't
Because you may have set me on fire but I lit the torch,
And I didn't scream when the flames melted my flesh.
Hi Femi, these days everyone is on WhatsApp and twitter has become X,
My scars are fading and the color blue no longer gives me panic attacks. The thought of your grave still gives me nightmares, but the memory of your face which I can no longer conjure scares me.
