Waiting for My African Prince to Return / Latoya Kidd

So many years I have been waiting on my leather soft couch in my black, low-cut negligee with nothing to eat and not an ounce of energy to go to work to make some money to buy something to eat. It sits in my living room next to the tall window facing the street. Waiting for my African Prince who left me for another woman to leave her and return to me. To sit down with me to have a cup of tea and talk about our love we have with each other. I feel so lonely and cold hoping that he will come back to me before I become old. I wanted to give him a gift that is not the cost of money but something that I cherish so much in my heart. Tears fall slowly from my eyes from the thought that he might not return to me. He was the lucky man that I wanted to marry and his name, I remember, was pronounced Larry. I don’t know what to do if he sends me a note that says, “Good-bye.” However, as the seasons change and the weather changes, I will see or do nothing, not even go to work to pay my bills and or go food shopping. I just look outside of my window to see if my African Prince decides to come back to me and heal this lonely heart.

Latoya Kidd: When I was in Central high school I started writing fiction stories. I never showed them to people till I graduated from high school in the year 2000.
