Despite The Pain Poem by Kondwani Simwaba

Despite the Pain
He stormed out of her room, with a heavy heart and a flat face; his eyes red, nearing tears and void of any glow, all the while contemplating would be solutions and striding at a very steady pace; even though he was too proud to look behind, he hoped she would follow him, no wonder he walked slow; at every blink of his eyes, he couldn't help but wish after him she would chase; except disappointment did nothing but hastened his strides and increased the flow.
He got to his room with thoughts of only wanting to sleep; he couldn't help but think, thinking about the many things on his mind that he could have said to her; like how he thought she looked amazing in her make up or how he wanted to tell her about his current problems; how he really needed a hug and to kiss her; how he thought about how he could just apologize already for whatever just so they could return to the smiles and laughter, he wanted to tell her about how funny he thought her dog looked after undergoing a haircut; I swear he only wanted to laugh with her; but he couldn't, see they were at loggerheads, moods swinging like loose pendulums, oscillating their argument and only tempers gaining momentum; he couldn't speak out, he had to leave.
He sat on his bed, pensively thinking as he let his tears go; ‘just quit already' were the words he heard; he had worked really had to just let something as beautiful as this go; he needed her, she needed him, they needed each other despite the thin lines having not been read; he loved her dearly & prayed to God she loved him too, but he already knew so, he wiped his tears and just slept…
