A Train Shattered My Heart Poem by Damilola Nelson

A train shattered my heart
And to pieces it scattered
In the arms of another, she rested.
While I sit here wasted

Life indeed is not balanced
My pain the song that pummeled their step while they danced

The chemistry between the anchor and the sailor
Rest in the belly of the sea.
Alas! I shall sit here and sing the mourner's tune.

Maybe I will do a jig or two to accompany my dirge.
Rest nobody died!
it just the requiem of an abandoned devotee

My lover rest in the arms of another
A painful lullaby!
That puts me to sleep.

I know not why I still call her my lover?
But what can I do when my heart betrays me each passing day?

What can a careless lover do if not drift in carefree thoughts?
Drifting in the pool of thoughts
Hoping that someday I might rest in her bloom as her lover did.

Sucking on her nectar like a careless butterfly.
Pollinating and cross-pollinating in passion.
