The scent of his love infiltrated my heart,
Just like the precious jasmine of the Arabians,
I began to stare more than necessary,
And started thinking unreasonably,
I knew I’m going crazy,
But I was willing to take the risk.
Dude appeared not to have noticed me,
I started applying a lot of makeup,
More than necessary,
Because,
Why would the little kids of Mgbafo mistook me for a pretty mad woman.
I started wearing skimpy dresses to his street,
Until I noticed his deep brown roving eyes wandering freely on my soft skin,
I knew the plan worked.

My hope dashed when I stopped seeing him in the neighborhood,
I decided to pay him a visit in his house.
I had followed him to his house on a fateful day without his knowledge,
Hiding besides the shrubs and trees to conceal my presence,
Nobody knew what I was up to that day,
Not even my twin sister, Nnenne.
The compound was quiet when I entered,
I quickly tiptoed to the backyard to see if I could catch a glimpse of my crush,
I was smiling to my self and shaking my waist vigorously in case he sees me first,
All of a sudden, I heard a loud noise from inside.
I peeped through the window,
I saw him,
The intimidating height and
Smooth dark colour,
With a pistol in his hands,
Lying in front of him was a lady in her own pool of blood,
He had a wicked look on his face as he kissed the pistol,
I quickly covered my mouth from screaming,
And took to my heels,
I ran as fast as my leg could carry me,
But, it seemed my strength want to fail me,
Because I noticed someone was running after me,
I ran so fast that I could not feel my legs again,
Bigger than that, however
Was the fact that I began to unlove and then unthink immediately.
