My Pains

MY PAINS... Amarachi and Valentine Death did more than silence you two I must say What is it that thou did that another have to pay? Now, you both aren't here and have nothing to say You begeted a lone wolf and left him without a pack There was supposed to be light at the end of the tunnel; why is it dark? Without an alpha; the lone wolf is vulnerable to attacks There are predators everywhere in this forest; he has witnessed more than attacks Survived? Yes! And still surviving but when will it all stop? Enough refused to be enough; is it till his wounded heart stop? I, me and mine Separated my needs from wants; can't have what isn't mine Mine is mine; theirs are theirs, time made me understand The said family always disappointed me; it's not as if I don't understand None can fool me as much as I can't fool myself, they know that There's no us in the jungle just I; in my struggles, I for sure know that There is no one to blame; those that responsibilities belong to lie in their graves In my strengths and weaknessess; I learnt among many things to be brave The tears I shed in your graves one after the other caused an erosion in my heart I have grown stronger than my pains; in all these, I still hold you two in my healing heart. ...V
