"NOTHING" by Benjamin Ofori Arthur

Nothing kills the soul
Like a restrained heart
Crumbling into oblivion
Am trying to reach out
But he's out of reach
Everything is out of reach
Nothing destroys the soul
Like a depraved heart
That lacks the touch
Of a loved one.
I lost my love
To tradition, to religion
To society.
Nothing destroys the soul
Like a lonely girl
Trapped in a loveless marriage,
She's in love with the house girl
He's in love with the house boy
But society deems them perfect
Nothing heals the soul
Like love
A love that knows no gender
No fears, no restrains
No judgment.
A love blessed by all
Benjamin Ofori Arthur
