A Story Of A Man Poem by Niken Kusuma Wardani

It was a day of lost
When emotion and pray were spent
For his dearly wife

- -
HIM:
My wonderful story had end
People might grieve but I won't
As I see beautiful episode of life
Ahead of me, to be my last

HER
I feel selfish but helpless
If happiness is an accident
I will leave all for the sake of love
Just to hold it dear through eternity
- -

Another 3 months, the wedding held
Premature choice of the lonely husband
To console the grieve with his new bride

- -
THEM
What possessed his mind? Is he blind?
How could he waste the precious memory?
What a shameless monster is she!
Her evil mouth is inevitable disease
- -

The marriage has legitimate
The closure of his old life
Family and friends waive in cold

So it goes... the breeze eat his heart
The days turn to hollow night
Finally sorrow steals his life

- -
HER
What have I done? Did I kill him?
Have my words turn into curse? Am I cursed?
Why they see my tears in disgust?
Should I deny myself and prove them right?

THEM
We're sorry for our indecent deeds
But the truth remain as is
May he forgive and let go
And fly free from the witch
- -

They try to drag her out
She tries to remind numb
Around the coffin they fight for their own right

It was indeed a day of tragedy
When rage outweigh the grieve
Of a man... who once lost his dearly wife
