Despite The Pain (The Sequel) Poem by Kondwani Simwaba

Despite the Pain
(The Sequel)
It happened again, except this time he didn't storm out of her room; he stuck around until the Elephant was addressed; you'd think that this ought tohave put to rest all the uneasiness in the room but ironically, it only pocked the bear; here we are again, at loggerheads moods swinging like loose pendulums and only tempers gaining momentum; her we are again, at the very bottom where we vowed never to return; you'd think we were daft at the many lessons history inculcated in us; here we are again, promulgating only our pride and letting our egos take precedence over that which we firmly believed in; here we are again, after the many efforts to better ourselves I still feel stupid; if ever I learnt something from Law school, now would bethe right time to sue Cupid...
After a seemingly amicable settlement; he left, in the dead of night he bestowed upon her face three kisses; one on the forehead, the nose and the lips; in his mind the white flag was raised and like it happens in fairytales love conquered all and took precedence over all; see the kisses denoted something dear to him; the forehead was him apologizing if he was wrong; the nose meant he cared and the lips was his way of saying, 'you are all I need; ' but just like labour day at the post office, I guess his message was never delivered; see mistakes are meant to be lessons for the future but I guess, we were stubborn students; like CBU despite the heart beating, we protested to having our egos ripped apart and yet despite the pain, here I am still reciting the same old poem...
