Lost Poem by Toluwanimi Ibikunle

When did you walk in?
thought you were long gone
So I bid all of the feels goodbye.
Never did I think they would come down rushing at my feet.
Felt like I lost you to the cold

The sound of the rain, the swift wind
Why did you come back?
Did the news of my state get you worried?
Why did you turn your back?
I stand here awaiting answers to my questions
Cause I thought I lost you to the cold.

Yet I feel it deep within me,
The answers lay down deep,
Screaming for acceptance.
My name had been inscribed on your parts
All of its brightness disguised as pain to you.
But when you got a grip of its shine,
you came running at my feet.
