Silent Love Poem by Ekene NNECHI

You left when I most needed you
You went silent on me when I needed you to speak
Word!
Words of love
Those things are powerful, you know?

It unmakes and
Maketh a man
For words are like currency
Pathways to the heart

Now we are standing at the edge of it all
And at crossroads too
Unperturbed
But disturbed by the uncertainty of love

What are the chances?
What are the chances, my lady?

Will romance lead the way
Or we'll let affluence lead
Both can't lead to the same end

Where are the promises made?
Love professed
Truth confessed

Misleading love I would say
My misleading lover
Yet enchanting
Giving a sense of comfort to the soul

Lies and truth
Deceit against fairness
Justice a last

Your love has gone silent on me
My Lady
And it's waving a sense of uncertainty within
With a mixture of malice and love.
