My Pain My Emotions Poem by Munashe Rupazo

It’s not our divorce that sets my heart on fire.
It’s not your betrayal that slashes it apart.
It’s not your sarcastic tongue that condemns my humanity.
Brutal memories of our past haunt me the most.

Love comes with joy and takes with it all.
You gave me a moment and robed of my mortality.
Through the door you came in, you left with a hopeless return.
As I wipe my tears off my sensitive bellies,
Swamps of solace invade, living my hopes homeless.

I mean the pain you caused me dug graves in my heart,
And until I bury my emotions I will forget your last name.
I will have forgotten your deceitful smile and devilish eyes
That stole my glance and kept it for your selfish assignment.

But, before that happens
I will cherish the good memories through pain and emotions
As they fade away with the final thought.
