Poem Title:
Poem
She tore the envelope open And she read Suddenly the clock stopped Everything around her felt nonexistent She couldn’t think All she could see was his face Her hands went numb As the paper fell to the ground Memories played Like a movie being fast-forwarded She saw pictures of his face move quickly in her head Her lips moved But they made no sound She tried to say his name But the pain in her throat wouldn’t let her Suddenly the morning turned to evening The joy turned to sorrow The smile turned to tears Her heart broke No!!!!!!!!! She screamed but no sound was heard Her face felt hot But her fingers were cold HOW!!!!!! She wept! Finally, she found her voice She croaked his name But no one replied He wasn’t there with her But she knew that he would never call her, “Nne m” Mama Mother Mum Her son had gone to bed To never wake up again By Sylvia Chika sylviachika@gmail.com http://sylviachika.blogspot.com/ http://sylviachika.wordpress.com/ https://www.facebook.com/sylviachikablog Instagram: @sylviachikawrites BBM Channel: C002F2845 Twitter:@sylviaoz © 2017 Sylvia Chika
