Not Another Tear

NOT ANOTHER TEAR
Not another tear
Is this love and care
This wanton ugliness and despair
Why God, must two go and pair
This wild sorcery of the heart
So I  compare with the wild man at the market
The need for you is sin to me
Burning me from within completely
How again must I love thee?
Chasing after the wind, how it’s with thee
Another jewel again like you I’ll never find
Ah! Let it be so, the pain of you I don’t mind
If I slip into dreams leaving it behind
I am weary,tired,suspicious of love
If it’s only with you I shall have
Creative conniving whores have made that claim
You cannot blame, them that woe is come to claim
That play that game, that make angels cry in shame
You say it’s not the same, but you always play a game
Oh! It’s not the same, I feel the pain
And what to gain?  that I be with you?
You to be with, that is never true
This fallacy of the chemistry of two
Now see what it has led me to!
Another tear oh never again
The last time was the last of my pain
                                  
                             Bright Githui
