Since you came


I was smiling when you came by,

Must be that beauty gleaming through my heart attracted you,

The kisses you gave me on ma way to ma mama,

Still linger as I remember the days I could not sleep

As you know, by your side

The last letter you wrote to me still holds the tears from my heart

The tears I shed as I read the words saying you need me no more

Now when I see the tears in your eyes,

I realize the jealousy with which I loathed loosing you

I know you needed me no more than I wished you could

And that those tears are not meant for me

But for she who just hurt you

The shoulder I used to give you broke when you left

And the passenger that borrows it every once in a while would not love sharing it with you,

Because of the stitches, it has had to bear since you tore it

You thought it was not worth,

Now you realize how precious it must have been

Oh, Yes

It was precious and you need it

That brings the smile I still have that attracted you

Till you broke my shoulders and cared less of the pain it caused me

Did it take you so long to realize the jewel you lost?

Must be you stayed in a honey pot

That drained as soon as you dipped your finger for a lick

I cannot laugh at your pain and my remorse must be expensive now,

Because you deserve it not just for tasting a drop of the bile, you gave me

It turned around to hit you on the face but as my heart screeched

Each night thinking of the first time I said I loved you

The first time I kissed you

The first time I felt jealous as others watched you

Then came the first time you hurt me

The first time you went to social media

And sailed through facebook and twitter

Flirting and enjoying the fantasies of the web

The emotions of first love of each day every new chick flattered your heart

Then you slipped off without figuring out how lonely it felt as I stayed by your side

Without company other than the clicks and toots of the keypads

Slowly by slowly I lost my place close by as you sailed through the web to some place

Blindly and thoughtlessly of the actions that left me in pain and anguish

Then I learnt the hard way, that my smile is worth more than any virtual pinch,

And I breathed , The laughter that I breath,

Because as the years dried and passed by I realized that if I inhale pain

It is pain that I will exhale,

So if I need love and joy, and peace,

I must breathe in peace to be able to give peace

So goodbye my love because the pain is gone from my heart and that which you think

Is fantasy my stitched shoulder cannot bear.
