The eye opener

"Let's go on a date", she pleaded with me
However, I would not oblige
I was as busy as a bee
"Please, stay back for breakfast", she cried
But I wouldn't heed her words
Afterall, I had a bus to catch
She ensured that all my laundry was done
She ensured my dinner was hot
And she ensured my home was clean
But all she did, I did not value
Afterall, she was in no way different from the other girls
I saw her as nothing other than a toy
A toy for me to discard when I was done with her.
"I surely can't fall in love", I convinced myself
"Only fools fall in love" is what I told myself
I was sure of that and felt proud of myself
One day, I received a call to identify a body
It was the body of my partner, she had been shot by a thug
My return to my house really made me distressful
For the house was empty and was void of life
I cried, I screamed and cursed at the death of my lover
Everything she did and I regarded as inconsequential
Had planted in me things I could not fathom
I thought I could not love but here I am heartbroken
