I’m going to live forever In the brightest spot of your heart

I’ll find the place you’ve kept for me

I’ll lay my head and go to rest

Merge with your heartbeat

Bleed to keep it strong

And when all of me is finally at peace

I’ll be content knowing

I died for love in your heart.

 

The book ends with the poem,

My Lion’s Heart,by Cameroonian poet, Bernice Angoh.
