One Typical Day Poem by Melanie Emikohe

One Typical Day



I haven't asked for Love
but it was offered;
knocked and begged
before my proud doorsteps
to be taken and kept
like an abandoned cat.
Although indifferent,
I had it welcomed
for the sake of such
a tremendous patience.
A pity becomes love,
becomes fidelity,
becomes obsession.

One typical day,
when you felt
too sure of me,
you just, without warning
left.

Melanie, I suppose that is typical of men (and cats) . You've stated it all so well... great write! Brian
