Haunted
29 March, 2010
Author: Victoria Umanah (Avikaie)
He cries so much, the earth grieves too
In sorrow and pain, of what he feels
For his long loved wife, she died so young
And they would never return her
He cries a lot and dare not sleep
For he is drawn into a world
Where horror fills his mind
And light is never found
He gets thorough thrashing
That never ends
Until he wakes up in tears
He cries too much; we sympathize
And ask why life would be so cruel
We bring him gift for we all fear
That he may want to take his life
He cried a lot; too long this time
He couldn’t bear the curse no more
When asked the reason why he cries
He had not one just thing to say
He’s always been so unhappy
He’s lived his life in guilt and shame
Having killed his one and loving wife
The only girl; an orphan child
------- Author's Notes -------
We donot know how he killed his beloved wife but it is evident that he will never escape his guilt and would always regret his actions... |
