Adjei Agyei-Baah

Wish I could unplug
This broken heart of mine
And cease this incessant throb of pain

Wish I could take my heart back to God for repairs
And keep it away from the eyes of lustful women
Who have many times stolen it away

Wish I could trade this tortured heart of mine for a baby’s
This heart now loaded with thorns and broken glass
Giving nothing but endless piercing and bleeding

Wish I could mend this devastated heart of mine
And make all the once broken cords vibrate again
And have a heart filled with true love, laughter and a little lie.
