My Distant Cry Poem by Ivan Chizurum Ezeigbo

Why did you leave me?
Why forsake me now?
Had I not waited enough
For us to be together
My ego melted with you
I knew no pride again
I knew the meaning of love
Because I met you
What of the time we spent
Come back to me
‘Cos your light blinds my sight
And your voice clouds my thought
If thou rejects me now
What shall my fate be?
My destiny is hooked with you
And now, the light that lightens my soul is gone
Without you is suicide
Not seeing you, genocide
I am like a piece of rock in water
With which water has no effect
Day and day, I wallow in sorrow
And pain and anguish my friends
Disappointments, my closer friend
Anger, my best friend
My eyes bleed for not seeing you
My hands swell for not touching you
My heart stops beating for you
Again and again
I lose my sanity
Because you've moved away
Far away
From me
Why did fate bring us together only to pull us apart?
Why did you break a wonderful relationship?
Why did you decide to torment me?
And why do you want to kill me finally?
Hearken to my cry
My distant cry
And return to me
Because there is a big cut in my heart
And it hasn't being healed
