Efe Benjamin - ' if you know me

2014-11-10 9

i don't want you
to know me,
if you know me,
you will
not respect me.
i want you
to respect me
like i respect you.
.
i don't want you
to love me
'cause you
don't know me,
if you love me,
i might break
your heart as
someone like you
broke my heart.
.
i don't want you
to come to my house
'cause i don't want
to be a fornicator,
like i was before
i changed my life.
.
these things are
not part of my life,
love and lust
are not my priority,
i want you to see
this reality.

Efe Benjamin
