Why
Zinaya Talata Nyaaba 2003 (Accra)
Please,Please
Don't let go
Am fading away slowly
Let me bloom for a while
I know it will not last forever but can I keep my hopes up that one day I will smile again
I love you and you know that right
You are my first and last love
I still feel the chill when I remember all that we did together
But this time the feeling is ripping my heart apart
Reminding me of my pain
My feet can stand it anymore
Did I ever hurt you
I told you if we won't last long don't get me involve
But you promised never to cause me pain
I told you my story and your promise to break boundaries for our love
You were all I wanted
And with that
I made you to envelop me with your lies,deceit and betrayal
And I kept hoping
That one day you will turn back
And realize what you have missed
But it turned out to be a fault of mine and hopeless dream
I did not fall in love with your body, voice or what makes you stand out
But I fell for how you treated me
When everyone made a fool out of me
You made feel special
When I had no one to turn to
You appeared
When all was lost and I was in my mental state
You embraced me with your warmth
When I told myself I am not falling in love again
You made me open up again
And you made me believe and you made me believe that all human are not the same
Now I walk the streets like a mad being
Everyone now knows our story
Behind my back they mock me
But when they see me they pretend to sympathize with me
Now I will remain a celibacy all my life
I hope were ever you are,my heart break
You are happy.
About this poem
The poem is about shutting all doors against love But someone's comes in to shutter all locks and thrown away keys Makes you hope again but destroys all love trace by making you regret knowing them And now the world sees you as a laughingstock to their amusement. Keeps hoping one day will be your day
