I’m Sorry 

By Tecla Nyengeterai Mwoyo
 

Loneliness of my mind 

Has struck me blind 

Burdened by day 

I stammer for a say 

I'm grounded!


I realized I was wrong

Dead chapters of love grown

Emotions that went wrong 

All in me blame I was so lame 


What dips me in depression is the suppression

That even in my situation

You see no complication 

It's only your contribution 

That my heart yearns for a solution 

Once more, I wish we could 

I'm sorry


To recall even though I'm out of sight

That very first night

I felt so right 

Trusted you in all kinds 

It's now this one fight

I spend my days in no light


What dips me in depression is the suppression

That even in my situation

You see no complication 

It's only ur contribution 

That my heart yearns for a solution 

I'm sorry 


I know, even roses can't make it right once more, nor the bubbly chocolates in all sweet flavours, nothing can be of anchor to our own but remember the first glance that took you away.

I promise I won't blow off the candles

Will love you more than words can say.


I'm sorry
