I see a sky without clouds and stars I'm not in darkness but I'm far away from light I saw you like fire and water Didn't know you were a pleasant nature I thought you were my enemy Didn't see you were a dove wearing an owls feather This love you gave with loyalty But I showed no accolades You served me your pain everyday And wasted your flesh to please me But I was too blind to see Was I naive  or stupid ??? Now sorry is too late to say "Come back" you might never hear I would be cursed if I sing eulogy at your grave But if termites had not made a feast of your heart Please do forgive me...

Now these dreams become too small to find My imaginations like a god Creating things that don't exist Seeing things beyond the dark We came together this far Until the cold burned you away I would curse the rain But no...I'd rather bless the sun No...I don't miss you But our soul impinges admits tears You're like an inferno...always rekindling yourself Without you...I'm not any stronger than earths clay I now see more than I should Under the slow dying sun No punishment could really be worst than your death You are GONE Poem Written By Emem Udoh Drawing By UbongAbasi Ise
