"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
