Ankaba
Time got tired of been here
numbering the scars
meted in the past
scars of lost lot
binding failure in tandem
opening up wounds
wounds too deep to heal
suppressing the joy of the now
so much, time is no match while
still holding ransom of debt owed
the thoughts still haunts as
tears and cries aren't wiping off memories
that birth uncertainties which made all incomplete
just as false appeals in regret's court
with little hope of redemption
day cries for the night
night mourns the day
all know each other suffers the brunt
having no solace of solitude
yet feel betrayed by one another
for the chaos of the day, spares not the night
the night whispered to the day
is this the end of it all?
or the beginning of the cycle of endless pain...
