It has been quite a challenge for me to get back where I was with you
Your attitude triggered me to loose patience and it is all gone now
I solicit within, pondering if you really knew what it was I felt for you
The actuality that it was not reciprocal cannot be over-emphasized
I was open with my thoughts and feelings and it only caused me hurt
I allowed it because there is no self-defence when it comes to love
You broke me; you made me feel like shit, utterly wasted
I could not concentrate on anything anymore besides loosing weight
I keep asking myself what went wrong. Was it me, was it you or us both?
Was I too much in a hurry? Maybe I rushed you
Maybe you really did not want me but was only giving it a chance
But that chance I never got because you only had to be understood
You never believed in the success of this association
It could not be me because you alone decided I was not good enough for you
Maybe not prim or proper enough to want to join the upper class struggle
I could not give you the value of love you wanted, least of all, la vie
Maybe I cut your air supply and you thus snuffed out your ability to call for space
I was in your face with insinuations of nuptials and it was too much for you
You were wrong in many more ways than I am willing to say
Let it not be my pride speaking, so I accept my faults and retain my sanity
I was in love with you and it was all about you, I forgot about me
But now I have picked myself up and I am stronger
Yours is a chapter I have closed and shall endeavour to not remember

Dear Baroque,
There is something very raw and painful about this.
I dont like it.
Everything good shall come....
this love is serious ohh. well we live, we learn, we grow, we pick ourselves up and we move on.
this love is serious ohh. well we live, we learn, we grow, we pick ourselves up and we move on.
"there is no self-defense when it comes to love".
This is true.
Thats why we must choose carefully the ones we love.
"I have picked myself up and I am stronger"
Thats d right attitude.
awwwww. Baroque!!! Blogvilles hunk!!
Its gud to know u have emotions too but its sad to know u r hurting.
*singing*.
Where do broken hearts go... do
they find their way home.....
we both might know where home is *wink*
@shoobydu...y u no go see typo, i had barely re-read what i posted, i saw 1 comment...STALKER...its not pearly whites, its pre-pearly white...thanks for looking out for me...much love sugar
@bumight, this long thing was not a strong thing...fuckeries!
@ibiluv, you know you yarn sense?...it definitely gets better with the next person
@fff, so i say congrats to you...you know we get yarns
@afrojigi, yea guys are human too...my dear, dont feel guilty, its only me...tell me about this naija big thing u seek...we can make our sorrows go away but we must do *winks*
@fineboy agbero, hearts have to be made stronger, its only a process man...thanks for popping in
@jaja, i know...its painful...but it had to be said...i'm good though...how gidiz?
@catwalq, AMEN!!!...been a while, where you been?
@mylighty273%, you can say that again pretty pebbles
@oluwadee, i agree, we must choose carefully...& yea, i have to be strong, for me...how the going?
@naijaidol, i have feelings but i hurt no longer...where might home be? *winks back*
how does one call for space when they know the call alone would hurt the other person?
it's like, why did u get into this if u weren't in it 100%... but people rarely ever get into rships feeling crazy in love.
but in the end its always the fault of the person that didnt grow at the same pace...
i'm sorry, this is about u.
i hope you don't grow jaded
and can learn to love again. completely.
giving all of you
with no thut to self defense.
Pls dont tell me this really happened. You are just being poetic abi? If it happened for real, did u give her this peom to read?
I have been here and felt exactly like this. It's definately not the prettiest feeling in the world but the feeling does pass, the experience makes us so much wiser and a lot more concerned about us.
I love your words in this post.My favourite line:
"Yours is a chapter I have closed and shall endeavour to not remember"
*grumbling* i am just seeing this now!
and i almost ran to the phone to call someone who could have written this about me...
On behalf of those of us who choke at the sound of nuptials i say i am sorry...
you can only get stronger man mi...
waiting for your buzz
first tym here.. why didnt i find ur blog earlier?
loved dis.
part of me wishes i had the strength to do dis.
baroque, I have never imagined you as one to be heart broken or hurt..
we see different sides everyday yeah..very transperent
To be read whilst listening to TLC's 'Unpretty'.
The big things I seek??? I would have tot that was known by all of blogsville by now...lol..
Come and take my sorrow away oh.....oh shit, I just remembered I started abstinance...How come I always forget when I come this way???
@geishasong, I agree, but I think one can get in a rel feeling crazy in love...& no, I didn’t get jaded, Praise GOD
@standtall, no, I didn’t give it to her to read, truth is, this is an amplified version of a text message that has been on my phone for months now, one I never sent
@tairebabs, yes oh, that chapter needs to be forgotten...since it didnt kill us, it has made us stronger & wiser
@tyger, BUZZ! BUZZ! you heartbreaker...hope you don’t choke yourself to death
@mz.dee, strength to do what? & why do I think I’ve seen you here before
@zephicentigrade, yes oh, I’m human, & can be saddened too with grief and disappointment
@naapali, wassup doc, have you found the CD?...& why ‘Unpretty’, i'd prefer ‘Love Is A Losing Game’
I got goosebumps and not the good kind reading this.....love is a losing game (according to miss winehouse)...there really are no winners when it comes to matters of the heart.
Sometimes its very painful....its her loss, she has lost a good man.
"I was in love with you and it was all about you, I forgot about me
But now I have picked myself up and I am stronger"....
very poignant.
Baroque,
Thank you for letting us see the other you. The you that can hurt and love and heal. I just fell in love with you more...
As for the closed chapter: she makes the book of your life more genuine.
Heck, i'll be your re-bound baby!LOL
Baroque your writing na wa o. It made me want to cry, then slash someones tires all at the same time.
I got scared o, i taught the voodoo had been halted by your current sweety, glad to her it was in your past.
Baby love (cheesy eh?lol), it's always easier to say this to the party that's ur friend, "it's her loss", she's not only missed out on a fine boy-cute butt-i know my perfumes-can cook as well, she's missed out on a deep, sensitive guy with a great sense of humor! (at least from what i've garnered from blogsville).
good thing it's pre-pearly whites, cuz now there's pearly whites to comfort u, treat her right okay?
Its not easy to open a closed chapter...
The good thing is you are stronger and would probably not treat someone else the way you were treated.
I had to do a double take
check your gender a few times over
and not because men rarely confess to having a heartbreak
but that finally I have met a man who is willing to embrace weightwatchers lol
@jarrai, love really is a losing game...but we need not be on the losing side of this love..thanks
@NDQ, the book doesn’t get any more real than this...& I’m seriously considering your rebound position...you just might do alright...*bites lower lips*
@dat1okrikagurl, please don’t cry, you’re so sweet...twas in my not so far past but I’m so cool right now
@esmeralda, ma baby, you have in so much time gathered enough to have portrayed me so well, I think pearly white is in good hands...*winks*
@REO, there are no such intentions of opening this closed chapter, & no, I wont treat anyone this way, thanks...*smiles*
@missdefmaybe, LOL@embrace weightwatchers...i think some of the weight loss was from the emotional depression more than my irregular gym trips (not so irregular sha)
Oh my goodness...
My heart broke as I read this...
'But now I have picked myself up and I am stronger'
O je bi...I kid! lol
Strong man...some pple spend a lifetime healing from a broken heart...welldone for picking urself up again...
...bros...how many days between this heart break and 'I'm slipping'?
How are u doing lover???
felt your pain, been there and all that. can only say once you get past it (if you aren't already), it is sweeeeeeeeeet!
loved the rawness.
Where are you, my handsome PH mister?
Hey Baby,
I'm giving you a tighter hug and throwing in a kiss
Bisous..xxx
@jaycee, hey, its ok now..thanks
@black007, my broda, i cant keep hurting, no point dwelling on it...& how many days shall be answered privately...holla
@afrobaby, just missing you, thats all...but i'll be fine in a lil while, right? *winks*
@knplx, never seen you b4, welcome here...& me putting it like this is kinda understated
@QOMyC, i'm here oh, busy thinking too much about my next move
@NDQ, i feel you babe...this rebound thing must work oh.LOL. kisses
