Poem

A Maiden’s Woe
He promised to return
After fighting’s done,
Said they would wed
After the war is won.
Fighting ceased, no battles lost 
No battles either won,
Days passed to months
Soon into years life had run.
My friends all have their tots
Running around at home,
Breaking pans and pots
While I stand all alone.

My father died in battle
Mother in a raid,
Brother was abducted
Sister abroad on trade.
I, left alone in my teens
Now twenty-seven,
Slowly losing my beans.
They say he’s still alive
Consoling me the while,
Where and how I wonder
While my friends all thrive.

Will no one tell me the truth
Of his status and being
For whom, hope is living?
Time has passed on by
Age has worn me down,
Worry creased my beauty
Laughter replaced by frown.
Now I live in fear
Teaching in a mosque,
Fearing sound of bomb shell
Turning my country to hell.

This is really cruel
Keeping someone in the dark,
Can’t someone tell her
The naked truth so stark?
