Tiema Muindi Poet Dramatic Verse

I Want To Go Away

I want to go away
Without looking behind
Without fearing  
The safety of my shadow
That you wouldn’t tear away
The pages of our history
Nor distort the legacy of our love

I want to go away
Believing that 
You wouldn’t break into pieces 
The bones that formed part of our lives 
That you wouldn’t burn to ashes 
The calabash from which we drank 
The joy of love that we cherished most 
I want to believe that behind me
You wouldn’t water 
The petals of differences
That made us part

I want to go away
Knowing that my legacy is safe
And the tracks that we passed through 
Forever remind you of challenges 
Shared in life together
I want to go away believing that 
The candle of light that lit our lives
In the darkest hours of our lives
Shall always be there in your heart
That you wouldn’t let it dry
The river of love that watered our lives
I want to go away

I want to go away
Believing that I have forgiven you 
Knowing that you are at peace 
With your sins
And when I erred 
I never intended to 
Even when it seemed so deliberate
The human nature in me
Couldn’t let me be
The angel you wanted me to be
With pangs and pains of deceits from you
I should not let out a cry 
I want to go away
