ALPHABETIC LOVE (The Full Poem)

It started like A B C,
But you turned it into a bee sea,
And made me swim and sing
Even with the pain from your sting.
My name is D,
D for Delicious, Darling, distinguish
Divine Dixon
But E dey pain me for heart
Say you turn am to capital letter F -fool.
You take my heart do G
Heart wey dey H for you,
Wey shun other girls cos of you,
IJ, Kay(K), Elle (L), emmm (M) Ene (N)
All these fine girls I shun
Cos of a love wey go from OP to OP
On point to off point,
Then you pushed me in queue (Q) of guys
That were in your unbelievable world of aru (R).
Who is Estee (S T)?
Your lover abi?
No one of your lovers abi?
Because I was busy loving U
And U were busy loving other guys,
I counted you as a blessing,
But you named them one by one
Two, three, four, five years of hugs and kisses,
You looked into my eyes,
And told me lies.
Told me about a love that has faded like V mobile,
You lay me in your bed,
Cut hair like Delilah,
I was already weak like Samson.
Even though I saw the red light,
That moment I asked what you love in a relationship and you told me sex.
But you told me you were a virgin.
Virgin Rachel lover of sex.
You are a virgin,
But when I entered you, bed na dry gin,
You come lie one lie wey dey tear jean,
Say blood no fit come out, na your kind gene.
There was a double you (W),
The angel outside,
And the demon inside.
You were always praying and fasting,
Speaking in tongues,
“Hushukata hushukata”
Me I no know say you dey ask God who to scatter, who to scatter.
I answered, here am I?
So you scattered my body,
Battered my soul,
Shattered my spirit,
Then pushed me to the list of your Ex (X)
Ex wey no get value.
Then the series of Why (Y).
Why(Y) oh(O) you(U)? You.
Why do I see you everywhere I go?
Why do I feel like I was wrong to break up?
Even when you hurt me most.
Zedic was my best friend,
Just make I enter bathroom go bath,
You dey ride Zed (Z).
Omo! Jolly rider!
Rachel you no get respect,
Abi na one year I go take bath?
So our beautiful love story,
The beautiful U & I,
Turned to eliminating Ex.
It wasn’t about the other guys,
It was about my best friend. Dear Ex (X), why (Y) Zed (Z)?
