Stay With Me

how I wanted to bind myself to her,

here are few things I wouldn’t do to make you happy.

Iya Martha had stopped talking, but her mouth still hung open. If one moved close enough, that mouth oozed an unbearable stench, like stale urine. Baba Lola had chosen a seat that was a safe distance from her.

even love bends, cracks, comes close to breaking and sometimes does break. But even when it’s in a thousand pieces around your feet, that doesn’t mean it’s no longer love.

But there are things even love can’t do.

The things that matter are inside me,

sometimes one person’s good fortune is a direct consequence of another person’s ruin.
