Rue

So I got inspired to write a poem after watching the Nollywood movie 'Falling'. Sometimes we just need to be patient and hopeful. This is the poem

I just can't tell you goodbye
You are too precious to die
You are my inspiration
You knew how to handle every situation

That day became a day of mourning
My smiles and laughter went with the morning
That accident left you in a coma
They said you might not recover

I sat by your bed everyday
Not losing hope for one single day
But that day was Valentine's day
With you all I wanted was to play

I cried out for you to wake up
Not once did you wink or get up
But in his embrace I found comfort
I was too weak to fight my lust

Because he gave me open arms
I couldn't resist his charms
We kissed each other
Then one thing led to another

I know I was vulnerable
And what I did wasn't honourable
Carrying another man's baby
The world would call me crazy

Opening your eyes some weeks later
I wish I had waited a little longer
You are my everything
Even though I have caused you pain and suffering

Please hear me out
Let's figure this out
Give me a chance to make it better
And I promise I'll love you forever
