My Yoruba Demon
I was once bitten
And I still went back a second time
Got burned after that
Now I’m wondering: do I still want that again?
I thought I was over it
I thought I was done
I thought I’d buried you
I thought you were gone
Away from my mind
Away from my heart
I went back to our texts
The ones lingering in my phone
Evidence of the times that were good
And I found myself smiling
Reminiscing
I saw what I loved about you
The way you fit perfectly
In spite of your flaws
The way of your charm
The magic of your sweet nonsense
I think I’m still in love with you
Once bitten, twice shy
And here I am, still wanting you
If this is your juju over me
Guess what? It worked.
