Silent Pain Poem by emmanuel emcaly ogundeji

My own, my very own life,
drains away in plain sight,
but nothing i do will change it,
she is gone again,
and though it hurts me,
i wont tell of my pain,
i wont tell her that,
i cant sleep at night,
cause her voice keeps resounding in my head,
i wont tell her that,
i wish i could go back in time to the day that she left me,
and beg her not to leave cause life isnt meaningful without her around,
i wont tell her that,
though i walk this earth,
my heart has gone on pilgrimage,
for he refuse to stay in a place without her soothing and comforting voice,
telling him how lucky she is that he found her,
i wont tell her that,
every morning when i wake up,
i wake up in tears,
for i remember her blissful smile,
i wont tell her that,
she was the drive,
that made me confident to face the world,
i wont tell her that,
even if my face has a smile on it,
deep within my heart,
i weep heavily,
i wont tell her that,
i wish we could go back in time,
to the day we first met,
the date i told i loved her,
and that moment when she looked me in the eyes,
and said she loved me too,
i wont tell her,
never will i let her know,
that i still love her,
for she walked away from us,
walked away from true love,
but listen!
I know she will return
as she always does
and when she does i will be waiting
