Groaning Within

I trusted you so much, more than one could imagine,
I loved you so much, more than one could express,
But you disappointed me, giving me a migraine,
And shattered my hopes and dreams, throwing me into distress;

I thought you loved me the way I am,
I thought we were meant to be together,
I never thought you’d smash me like ham,
And make my heart’s pieces to gather;

I know I am not perfect in any manner,
But the words you have spoken, my heart it did plunder,
Tearing me into bits and pieces,
Making me feel the ugliest of all species;

Your words as I saw it, were so sweet and tender,
But never knew it was against me, my name to slander,
Crazy I am now, as I sit and ponder,
Is this it? In pain I cry, with my thoughts that wander;

I questioned myself,
How is it that I never thought you’d do this?
My heart replied you guys are the blood of my life;
Did you even think that blood was life in itself?
I’m sure not, for you thought I’d never have a ‘self’.

Did God make me this way?
I’m so sure he has his own way,
In making me the way I am, he had in mind what I am,
But in giving me people like you, was it to put me through shame?

I’m so sure, it’s not that way,
I’m so sure he has his own way,
Cos, Great is the One God I believe in,
Awesome he is in guiding me,
Moulding me through thick and thin,
His actions in me I see;

I pledge not to ask you anything about it,
Just seeking God’s help for my life to be lit,
Life is indeed a long journey of learning,
As I continue to yearn to find its meaning;

Let my life go on, as our days go by,
Disturbing you not, as I struggle to make ‘us’, ‘my’,
I will laugh out my cry, won’t let my emotions fly,
Still groaning within, caging my love in a sty;


Love

It is indeed amazing How a starry night rang bells, Igniting romance that was to follow. A romance that was pure intimacy And an ever-de...
