Farewell Poem by Oyehan Opeyemi Akinkunmi

Farewell- the word you thrust from me
Not within, even for all I waited
To let go I have to, for thee
Not to death nor to be hated
I learnt to deal with it like this.

How do the scars feel after wounds heal?
Did it burn or hide the hurt inside?
It burns, but I'll forget the peel,
Hurts beneath the silence 'tween my aside.
Howelse do I deal with it all?

I will let go; I will miss you
And never will break my pledge nor fight
The walls that run betwixt us two,
With broken heart and broken promises, I indite:
Farewell- the word you thrust from me.
