Why do you comfort me?

Nsisong Effiong8 May 2012

Why do you comfort me?

Do not think you know the pain

Slowly drawing the curtain on my heart

And filling me with its stain

 

I have had love lose breadth

and drift into transcedental sleep

depriving providential keep

leaving me but sorrow’s wreath

hanging heavily from the cleat

of memories i would never peep

 

Why do you comfort me!

Do you think you know my pain?

 

I have had my heart broken

by one i gave for a token

of love that was never true

And now i am left to rue

as slivers of yesterday’s joys

floats away like tommorrow buoys

 

Why do you comfort me?

Do you think you know my pain?

 

I have had trust betrayed

and played for dumb

Where i moulded the strongest bond

my soul has been wounded and i am enraged

my fury never to be defrayed

Coming unbound

 

why do you comfort me

do you think you know my pain

 

Life has dealt me stakes

from its convoluted deck

flashing in distant horizons, strobes

of my dispersed hopes

if my clouds had any linings

there would be no silver shining

 

Do you see my pain?

Can you understand?

Else, let my beleaguered smiles
Embank my growing tears

I can comfort you
Because i see your pain
Because i understand
I feel the same
That's why i can comfort you
