Ifunnanya(Love) Poem by Izuoma Ibe Owunna

As you have left
My heart has changed its beat
It pounds so hard
In reminiscence of yesterday
Ifunanya please don’t break my heart

There they say is white
There all they say is white
You have wished to be with them
Don’t leave me for them
Ifunanya please don’t break my heart

Here has been the same;
Faces all black,
Voices all the same
I’m in company but lonely in the heart
Ifunanya, please don’t break my heart

We hope to sing “I do”
My heart longs for that day
Age won’t be a barrier
Even with gray hair
Ifunanya please don’t break my heart.

Remember our promises under moonlight
When there was nothing but the chirp of crickets
When we sat under the udara tree
My promise I would uphold
Ifunanya please don’t break my heart

The bush path is grown
Through which I sneak to say good morning to you.
The early morning birds now chirp my absence
The morning dew on the grasses now wet early farmers

The moon is set
Everywhere is quiet
Lovers are gathered
Alone I am
Ifunanya please don’t break my heart
Izuoma Ibe
