Mmeso Inspires: Into Me

I thought you were into me,
Just like Newman was into Yoga,
A beautiful damsel like me,
Gentle like the dove.
Solemn and sober, your love had drove me,
I never believed you would ever hurt me,
All because of Isioma!

Your betrayal was painful,
Because I never believed you would ever hurt me,
So many had betrayed me in the past,
Nkoli, Adaugo, Iruka and Isioma,
But it was not as painful as yours,
It was not as grievous as yours,
What have I ever done to you Ubah,
That you abandoned the love we shared for years,
All because of Isioma!

I thought you were into me,
Just like the Egwuribes were into palm wine,
So soon you proved that you are as fickle as ever,
Hence my hunch was right,
When you countlessly postponed our meeting,
And hurriedly end up our conversations,
All because of Isioma!

I must not fail to thank you Ubah,
Your betrayal was a blessing in disguise,
How would I have met the prince?
The first Attorney in the whole clan of Egwuribe,
How would I have known,
That he is into me as Atuke is into his barn,
If you didn’t break my heart.

Don’t ever stop me on the road again,
Or you risk going to the prison,
I’m engaged to the Prince now,
In few weeks time, I will be the beautiful wife of a young successful lawyer.

I might have missed those times Ubah,
But when I remember the act of disrespect and betrayal,
I’m glad you left,
Such a tender girl with a fragile heart,
Such a beautiful girl with a lovely skin,
Deserve a better man and an eternal love.
I will remind you once again,
That very soon,
I will be the queen of this kingdom,
And both you and Isioma will be my subjects,
It’s not my fault, Is it?
It was never my fault, dear Ubah,
That my dear husband is into me.
