-expression no. 19.
(for huda)
you don't care to remember yesterday--
even if you were the one who took the
wrong way--
just to say you're "sorry," and make your
peace,
for we'd then get-off on a new plate with
some ease;
where's your conscience? aren't you for a
minute sane?
you used shout at me with all your false
complaint--
never caring to listen, too often baking
my heart so sore,
till you at last broke our bond, and more!
--ah, how patient and quiet i bore your
abuse,
for you then we're set to wreck money,
and without excuse--
determined as i then was, wanting to
keep us together
as a family, soon to be a father and a
mother;
there you're with false tears, and false
argument all the same;
humbled, i ignored who's right and who
not, taking all the blame,
you didn't care to listen but ran away
with your "cousins" in team,
and i was left bitter alone, just to moan
and ponder over broken dream:
and tonight you come, seven years to this
day,
imploring with pleas of love, not to delay
a love, a you gone years ago: if i accept
you now anyway, how wouldn't i be down
again swept?
