Elizabeth Odoh Poem by Offiong Felix

I loved her and I thought she loved me too
With love so real because she told me so
My beloveth Elizabeth Odoh.
And we had shared only between us two
Affections that no two had ever shared.
Her smiles, they were as lively as the sun
And her sweet aroma of life had won
My most precious heart that I proudly said
'Am in love with her heaven have it so'
But how was I to know, innocent though
That her sweet words and love to me were lies
That just yesterday she would say goodbye,
How was I to know, that those rosy lips
Of hers were for someone better than I,
That my feelings were taken for granted
To haunt my heart with memories instead.
Oh love, tell me what is in you we fall
That every heart submitting to your taste
Has tasted nothingelse so sweet at all
That drives all insane when it is misplaced
Or lost, and tell me where now lie my fate,
What heavenly recompense that awaits
Or give back my days before yesteqday
When our love was still so much in the air
For all left, are memories till my death
Of the day she left my Elizabeth
