Sugar coated tongue, but deadly like a viper…
Face look so tender and innocent, but heart is gall.
And just before I knew it, he found his way into my heart.
Hissing like a snake as he made his way fast inside.
Housed in between my delicate soul…
He begin to break.
How shall I tell my story?
That Ojadili is a woman beater.
He has turned me into a punching bag at the mercy of no one.
He is a lover to Asiri, the popular woman with the large waist and tiny head.
He is a lover to the black tooth girl, who sells sweet orange at Idundun market.
Ojadili is a lover to Odum’s widow, whose spirit is rumored to always roam the village at the dead of the night.
Yes, he is a lover to the same woman who fell into the latrine pit last eke market day.
Where shall I start?
How can I face father?
