Me (The Person You Made Me) Poem by Keith Anastase KAMOSSO

How do I say goodbye to what I had?
The good times that made me laugh
Outweigh the bad
I thought I’d going to see forever
But forever is gone now

It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
I don’t know where this road is going
I don’t know what I’ll do when I am gone
All I know is where I’ve been
And all I’ve been through
And it makes it hard to say goodbye to yesterday

I’m holding my head in disgrace
I don’t know where I am going, and
Knowing the price that I am paying is painful
But I can’t escape the truth now
I admit that I’m afraid of tomorrow

Yesterday was yellow
Today heavenly blue looks like graymail
And I can see the black cloud appearing in the sky
Tomorrow will be cold for me to carry on
What color will be my heart afterwards?

Tomorrow is coming in my veins with aches
Sorrow is becoming my soul mate
Dreams I had are leaving for the time being
The damage is done there is no coming back
The prodigal son is too late

Old mercy doors are closing on my arrival
I don’t know where I am going for shelter
Gaze upon my face you’ll notice the lines
Telling the story of this pain I’m addicted to
The damage is done; the pain is my soul mate

Once, I was a lover
But now I’m like an old pair of shoes
Twice, I was a king
But now the slave life is an honorable life
I wish to die to relieve the pain in my mind

Tell me about bereavement
Death is enjoyable sentiment
Fold up my eyes
Sight is an agonizing road to walk
Kill my senses, life has became a portrait of death

When tomorrow the sun rises
I won’t be singing but I’ll be mourning
Mourning for a gasp to pass the time
Since this life I have nothing to live for
But only breath breathe to breathe
