What if I loss you // poetry by Auwal uzairu umar

 

WHAT IF I LOSS YOU?

The world disappointed me,

Night comes with terrible air

Fall follows you to the grave.

Day and night deceive me—

Fear and nightmares shudder through

Days and nights speaking only sorrow.

When love breaks like wooden shards,

All things turn terrible.

How did my dream become reality?

This terrible headache persists.

Pain gauges my temptation,

Birds fly, yet I wonder: can I fly wingless?

My mind urges: fly without wings.

You left me alone, a heartbeat lost.

Beyond clouds and imagination,

My story is bitterer than a tree's tale.

Come with me into the ethereal,

Altruism fuels my power and energy for you.

You're my storyteller.
