Someday

Hearts are meant to be opened, aren't they? You never failed to make me feel unloved! With your charming face, charismatic voice, vibrant soul I recall heartbreaking moments... I recall a visit to your ailing son, spent barely ten minutes together, left him empty-handed I recall moments calling you countless times, days to the exam to receive the school fees you promised Frantically ignored calls Remembering two months' rent was due, Landlords on my neck, sadly my door was shut I recall moments being rained on from school, Not because I lacked shelter but because my house was shut I recall moments of being dashed out of the exam room, not because I engaged in exam malpractice but because you failed to pay my school fee I recall countless heartbreaking moments... Days pass, don't they? Someday when you need a bill to be settled too I will be watching, not because you failed to be a dad, but because you never failed to make me feel unloved Someday you will need money to run tipsy maybe you will Say my eldest son abandoned me but I will be watching Because time is kind, and God is fair

This seems very personal, more like a letter or text than a poem. Nevertheless, it resonates deeply
