IF THIS IS A MAN III: LOVE ABUSEA Poem by Chinedu Ubah
The day has overshadowed the night once again.
Once again I wake up expecting him near. I know he would not be there. But it does not really hurt to hope....Once again. It breaks my heart ...again and again. But I still love that adulterous son of cain. For he stole my heart away. But lost his somewhere along the way. I remember. How the meaning of his words began to change. How "am sorry" meant little or nothing. I remember, how the nights became silent. And how the day went violent I remember, how words like "different" became frightening How his love was delivered with slaps, kicks and somtimes punches. I can't remember that look of love in his eyes. Because I cant find love in those eyes anymore. The day has overshadowed the night, once again And once again, all I feel is pain Like the rainbow after the rain. There should be a good thing after the pain. To see that is what I crave, Before what is left of me hits the grave. © 2016 Chinedu Ubah |
