LucyAnne Wanjiku Poems

I can't believe you're really gone
Am shedding tears: my heart is torn
...

Lonely yet in a crowd
Silence that seems so loud
Ashamed no longer proud
Gone against all you had vowed
...

Friends aren't the people who smile at you always
But them that frown when you pretend
Shout when you're stubborn
And real friends; slap you when you lose your mind
...

Life's like that, we often remark
One day you're the boss, tomorrow you get the sack
One day you're his queen, the next he asks you to pack
Today is filled with sunshine, tomorrow it's pitch dark
...

I watched you walk away, yet I couldn't stop you
I saw you shrug and go, but there was nothing I could do
I tried to call you back, but your mind was made up
I tried to rub you off, but no one could fill the gap
...

I've stared at it a thousand times
It's costly, worth millions of dimes
Each time I see it, I can only mime
My heart breaks for it is not mine
...

Watching you, wanting you
Yet it's all a dream to me
There is no chance for us to be
That is all I am left to see
...

Love of my life, that you are to me,
I can't bar you, I set you free
If you are meant to be mine
You will be come rain or shine
...

Never thought this day would come
That you'd say goodbye and be this firm
Never thought you'd say I pry
Never thought you'd make me cry
...

Twas not easy for you were too busy
It took courage as I was filled with rage
The healing took time but now I'm fine
I am not nice but I am wise
...
