Mama

Mama

Mama I thought I was woman enough to akimbo before you,
Until last night while walking home,
Drowning these memories in the rain,
Biting my lip to transfer the pain.

How wrong I was,
For a blind holy brute I was,
Yes mama,
So innocent and pure,
I had a crush!
It was an accident flash.
But he took notice.

We flew high making promises of no colour,
He made hell look heaven,
Beguiling me to believe in fairy tales.
Playing his favorite game was the height of it,
Singing his name as he danced the tune.

A lady I was at dusk a woman at dawn
Mama at the sight of conception
He took his flight saying it was just but  infatuation.
Mama he left me to succumb the wrath of our actions.
The aftermath surreality …

A pain so deep,
Broken and scrambled.
I crawled here in the dark mama
To drain my face
In a casket of tears so i can forget.
Oh crumbs!
Mama you knew better not  but BEST
