THIS IS MY ENTRY TO THE HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 118 AND THE THEME SAYS “LOVE HURTS”.

I decided to make something different for this week's performance and we used a nice background for it. I thought of going inside my school since there is an ongoing strike in my country, and every student has moved out of the school's hostel. I knew the school would be silent and quiet, except for a few people going in and out. I hope we gave it a try?

I chose this song as it fits perfectly into the theme and we started rehearsing last week until we made the final recording on Monday.

I and the lady on white tried making it a duet while the other one was our video lady who was recording us. I couldn't have asked for more because they came through when I needed them.

This song titled “Gone for Good” was sung by a Nigerian lady, Simi. She has been one of my favourite fans because of how she delivers her song with inspiring lyrics. One of them is “Duduke” which was dedicated to every woman expecting a bundle of Joy.

I got to know this heartbreak song and I enjoyed it because it's a song which speaks of being hurt in love.

It's always painful when you once love someone deeply but they decided to leave for some reason, but don't you think it's more painful when they come back thinking they still have a space in your heart? For me, when you are gone, you are gone for good and there wouldn't be a space for you anymore. I don't want to be hurt the second time.

Love hurts when you expect more from him or her, especially when you think you have done so much for them but they decided to betray or act in a wrong way to you. Love is sacrifice and whoever would love you should be ready not to see you cry because that is the worst experience someone could go through.

I have seen and heard many cases of people committing suicide because they were left alone in relationships or they were betrayed. It's so sad when we have been through different challenges together, and even gone through happy moments but in the end, you leave. As I said, when you are gone, it's forever and for good.

LYRICS

The word around town
Is that, you're back in town
And I try not to think about it, I try
But it's been so long
And I, though I moved on
But now I doubt it, I do

I wonder why you even come
It's almost like you're having fun with me
But oh, if I set my eyes on you
It's unavoidable, I'll come undone
Oh, I thought you were gone for good
_{Check here for the continuation}

Thanks for listening and reading
