Pain And Tears Poem by Funkekeme Akposeye

Work on me, walk with me and
find things I lost long ago
Always in my heart, for you I will
rinse my tears
Toil on you, stand with you and
find things you lost long ago
Forever in your heart, for me you
will raise your pain
If you try you will not cry
If you must cry let it be birth
tears
because if I go this house ceases
to be your home and your heart
falls on things you don ’ t know
If I try I will feel no pain
If I must feel pain let it be birth
pains
because if you go this house
ceases to be my home and my
heart falls on things I don ’ t
know.
