Parting Gift Poem by Samuel Julius Kargbo

Your fat lies still haunt me
Wounding me with grief every day
Your love is a broken song
Death, you brought along
Tears in my eyes; spiked heart

I have forgotten those transient moments
Days of charm and great delight
Rotten flesh in the casket of lust
Can you hear the melody of the darkness?
O tides of the tormenting night

So, in the days to come
May I never remember your name
As the music ascends like a hunting bird
May I never see you face again
All you ever gave me was shame

I am walking away
A road I know not, endlessly walking
The rusting dust smells nauseous
I can't control my groaning feet
I will be okay; maybe
