Mnemonic Of Heart Break *** Written From A Tranquil Thought Poem by Oyelakin Gbolahan

To what will you compare these?
…rejected by the one you gave your heart;
Deceived by the one you most trusted;
Abandoned by the one you pray to spend the rest of your life with;
Cheated by the one you gave your all;
Denied by the one you most needed;
Despised by the one you most cherished.

To what will you compare these?
The agonizing pains of a heart-break;
The blast of a shattered dream;
The shame of disappointment;
The fear of a scattered future;
The headaches of sleepless nights;
The shocks from being beaten twice.

To what will you compare these?
The insecurity of sharing life with someone who doesn’t see what you are seeing;
The hurts of a haunted mind;
The depression of a hidden expressions and feelings;
The stench of failure;
The memories of regretful past actions, decisions and costly choices;
The unfairness of loving someone who doesn’t equally love you.

To what will you compare
The hopelessness of broken pieces?
Is it possible to build an edifice of hope?
Twice beating is twice shy…
How many shy will it be
When beating four times?
Better not to be beaten at all…
