Poem
What happened to 'for better for worse', What happened to 'You I will cherish till death do us part', What happened to 'You have my all, body soul and heart'. I remember how you used to wait for me, Daily... Right under that light post, Everyday at 4o'clock, Because that was when my classes ended, And you would insist on walking me home, Even if I wouldn't say a single word all the way long. I still remember how you would sneak into our homestead, In the middle of the night, And come to the window of my room, And you wouldnt want much, Just to see me, Hold my hand, And say you loved me, Make your vows under the glistening stars, And mighty moon, And then go waiting to see me the following day after school. I still remember that day you found me at the river, And you held me by the waist, I still feel electricity flow all through me, Every time you touch me, Just like it did that day, Down by the river side. I still remember how i turned around and for the 1st time, Looked straight into your eyes, I remember how I let go of my pot... And followed you into the forbidden forest. I didnt know where we were going, But knowing I was with you my heart was at rest. I still remember laying there on that patch of grass, Your breath on my neck, As you slowly untied the knot my mother did on my leso every morning, And slowly I gave in, You had said you loved me, I loved you even more, And because that is all that mattered, I surrendered to you. I remember how you looked at me two months after, When I told you that soon we would have an extra player in the team, I remember the sharp pain that hit my gut, Split my heart, When you uttered the words,'How sure am I that its mine.' I remember how you looked at me with so much spite, When both parents, Yours and mine, Said that all that could be done, Was you to marry me, And take responsibility. Ten years now and you haven't called him your son, Not even once, And am left to wonder what wrong I did, Because it takes two to do the deed, And the consequence of our action is our son Dean. If you loved me for real, Then why would you turn cold as steel. What happened to the promises under the moon, The vows in the letters you wrote daily after school, The tender love I could see, Each time you looked at me. What happened to 'for better for worse', What happened to till death, do us part.'
