God, You could’ve taken my kidney,

an arm or a leg,

You should’ve even taken me instead

But that one person that made my life worth it, you took away from me..

We did not disturb anybody o..

Just living lives on our own terms…

What a Jealous God you trully are…

Cos you had the power to spare him but decided to flex muscles..

Kukuma finish what you started na..

I’m Ready
