He Wept Poem by Kunmilade Adedokun

Being away from loved ones can hurt
Even more so with no one by your side
He closed his eyes and a tear rolled down
He had blurred eyes so i know he wept

He beat his palms against his head
Sighing, screaming, lamenting
I could see through my mind the way he felt
I couldn't be wrong when i thought he wept

He broke into a sorrowful song
with no rhythm or i could be wrong
The birds in the trees, the tune dispersed
Without a doubt, i know he wept

Heavy sorrow rented his heart
He wanted his family home so bad
He wept day and night for a really long while
Until his family finally came by.
