Poor Fellow Poem by Solomon Kobela

Poor Fellow



Innocent smiles
Friends before it all
Before someone got smitten
Before we decided
Boy he should have trusted….
Poor Fellow

You came to him
Pleaded you care
He gave you his heart
You toyed with it
He gave it his all
You said it wasn't enough
You threw it back in his face
Shame, poor fellow
All he got
Undeservedly so
Was a donkey kick in the teeth.

Only once you said you love him
Only once he felt that affection
He had learned to love you
Seems you never did
Poor Fellow
It was only a matter of time
When he would realize that he's given more than enough
When he would realize that the union existed only to benefit the other
When he would realize that weeks went by without being fed emotionally
When he would summon the WILL to call it QUITS

It was only a matter of time when he would realize that:
- It tore him apart
- That it drove him more and more away from the present
- That although he tried
- There's only so much he could do
It was only a matter of time when he would realize that
- His heart had misled him
- That it was a "one sided" affair
- That there was little or no affection
THAT HE DESERVES BETTER

Oh dear heart
Why did you deceive this poor fellow?
Why did you deceive this poor fellow?
