Sometimes you are just not someone’s type. They might be attracted to you for a while, curious about you, interested in you, be entertained by you. But in the end they will betray you or leave you, because deep within their heart you are actually not their type or what they’re looking for.
And there are two types of them. Those that will tell you honestly up front. And those who won’t.

How many people are you? I’m two. If you don’t see me through You won’t know who’s talking to you. Some people I see Are three Dealing with them you have to be Relating with all three Simultaneously. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
When the wound heals outside Without healing inside Baby you are beautiful inside and outside Your smile is open wide But your heart, the one that cried But your heart, the one that lied But your heart, the one that died Is closed up on the inside And will continue to pretend and to hide… Your laughter is it pain or is it pride? Lonely bride You are a lonely bride. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
There is an anger that cannot be stopped Until it has burned its way through the heart And left a trail of cold ash and dropped Off shrivelled and twisted like abstract art On the canvas where memories are developed Negatives left behind for a seeker’s chart. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
The story is always told differently From how it really happened Because the story was experienced differently From how it really happened By everyone to whom it really happened Even while it really happened To everyone to whom it really happened Like it never really happened. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
Go at your own pace Let no one hurry you Your life has deeper value Than just to be in a race. Frame your own narrative Own your own story Share your own memory Everybody’s is selective. Only you know Deep within your soul Your heart’s true goal You alone know. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
It’s not as easy as you think
Some bones heal in their broken position
Yes, they don’t hurt anymore
But they will never again make the same old motion
And you will never again feel the former emotion.

Poems from the inner river
If it’s just the two of us, let it be just the two of us. Don’t believe what anyone from outside tells you.
If I open myself to you then, believe me, nobody knows me better than you do.
Trust your heart and trust me. The exclusive magic at the core of our love will see us through.
But if you fail to bring up the courage to believe, or if you yield to outside influence, you damage our super glue.

If you died Right now Ask yourself What have you lied To yourself About. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
The train is full of hopes And full of broken hearts Full of starts and stops A moving story of many parts. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
