THE PAIN OF MY PAINS

The pains of my pains ,
Was watching you lying straight  
In that wooden bed 
Whilst mourning with pain 
I knew then 
That your eyes are forever closed Mdali .

The pains of my pains ,
Was you leaving me for betrayals 
In the hands of whammies and families 
So is friends and my enemies .
That was the was my pain .

The lesson which left me with no gain ,
The scars compared none to Abigail.
I cried silent cries for decades ,
Hurdling with my knees 
Griplling with my finger nails ,
But still no sign of you or hail .

The pain of my pains ,
Was you leaving me with repos .
Today , it sadens me when I see toddlers .
That angers me when I see mothers ,
This occupies my peace not 
When I see others playing mothers .

The pain of my pains 
Comes when it rains .
It is then that I see my shelter drains  ,
That know it is the end of me,
Whilst neighbors  are chanting .
That is my pain .

My pain that echoes everyday when the sun sets 
And when the day dawns .
The very same pain that has no prescription 
Nor a remedy 
And this pain will take me one of the good days
