Opeyemi Mariam Sonaike - Tangled Confusion

I had one once, but it left too soon,
Now I find myself beneath a heavy moon.
Two have appeared in this tangled embrace,
One seeks my heart, the other, a different place.

One likes me dearly, I feel the same glow,
Its laughter, a melody, a gentle flow.
The other admires, but my heart cannot sway,
Yet still, there's a weight, I can't push away.

Once there was one, we shared a deep thread,
But now I'm uncertain of the words left unsaid.
Do I still hold a flicker, a chance to revive?
What's better, a spark or the ghost of a vibe?

Each day brings the questions, each moment a phase,
In this complex dance, lost in the maze.
Does it think of me still, could we spark that flame?
Or is it just echoes, whispers of a name?

One likes me truly, its feelings are clear,
But I can't reciprocate, I feel it near.
Yet, in this confusion, a truth I must find,
What does my heart seek, what's gentle and kind?

Oh, tangled emotions, a riddle so deep,
Wading through choices that hardly let me sleep.
In the end, I just crave a connection that's true,
A heart that aligns, a love ever new.\n\nOpeyemi Mariam Sonaike
