Broken Past Poem by Benjuzzy Okpuzor

As i approach the apex
Of my time, how do I
Treat the threads of old

wounds, and past life
That still lay's and
Lingers,

Perhaps some hurt's will
Hot forever, yet time has
Retired me from that which

I never chose but was
Chosen, nolonger the one I
Once was, but yet paying

The price I bought, and
Brought, wrath's and ruin
Rules, chaos, and chasm but

The red dawn will triumph
We voiced, but all void to
The vultures, and now a

Lesson learnt the hard way
Black veil bride thought's
Of love been vile, as love

Hurts, brothers betray's
Friends besmirched;
Shall we then break all

Bonds of fellowship from
Folks to foe!
With the lips of love the

Poets preachs and pratice
Peace, but has non;
For by inheritance the

Blood of a Christian run's
But atheists bond, love is
All I need, but all I see

Seems crimson, yet deliliah's
Lips my path, and parts it
Shall never come to pass,

Those whom I deserve much
Torn's me in two, and gave
Me less;

But brick by brick I shall
Rebuild my heart to love
Again
