When you say I don't love you anymore
My lung searches for air so my tongue is ready to debunk your truth
I call it your truth because it's different from my truth
But my brain takes me back to my youth and
I confirm that it is the truth neither yours nor mine

You bore me in your belly for nine months, I ate what you ate
Determined when you slept because we were conjoined like jelly
Gave you sleepless nights kicking your belly
Because right from the belly I had been selfish
Your belly became my comfort zone
Coming out would mean discomfort for me hence
I refused to come out when it was time for me to leave your womb
And it was soon going to be my tomb
I wanted to take you with me but you pleaded
In between the screams of you pushing I could hear your plea
Please baby come out for mummy you pleaded
You loved me from the very first moment we met
I cried and you laughed, you cried, I cried and
From then on our journey began

Dad died at a rather young age and though
I cannot remember what he looked like
I know what having a father looks like when I look at you
With your skirts and blouse you changed the bulbs around the house
From your pocket you brought out screwdrivers to change the sockets
Put on the generators, became a waiter to cater to our needs and wants
My memory may be foggy but I am not groggy
So I can say for sure that you never purchased anything new for yourself
Okirika sellers became your friends
Never minding the storytellers who went about telling tales
Of how you couldn't afford common hollandis
Yet you ignored because you felt we were more important than this
You showered us with new clothes, shoes and underclothes
You wore Okirika but we wore aso tun tun
Saving every penny you got from your sales
Interested in the details as nwoke ajo takes your card to tick the funds collected
The long nights and short mornings
You had to endure in that godforsaken beer Palour of yours
I watch as you endured snide remarks from drunken men in their drunken state
I watch as you got flogged by OPC men for returning late at night
All to spite you for ignoring their advances
I watched the endless harassment and embarrassment
You didn't let that deter you or stop you from your goal
Your goal was not your personal fulfillment rather
To see your girls graduate university from a meager 1000 Naira daily Ajo savings

While those with fathers with financial expertise were sent home for school fees
You struggled and ensured that we were never one of them
Mama your girls are graduates now and working at the job of their dreams
I own an iPhone 14 pro max while you use a techno phone
I buy new clothes for myself every month and
I haven't asked you what kind you will want to have
I travel the world yet you are yet to leave the shores of Nigeria
I dine in the finest restaurants yet you are stuck at the local bukka just down the street
I drive the most exquisite cars yet you still hop from keke
So when you say I do not love you
You're not talking too much
I am guilty as charged
