Bernard Gabriel Okurut

Pain unspoken.

 

Oh love....

Speak to me not with your serpent tongue,

For I know the venom from your fangs.

Beckon me not to your bait,

I have been a victim of your tricks and lies.

Hold me not captive,

I loathe your cold touch.

Tempt not my greed,

For beauty has made me fall a thousand times.

 

I refuse to lend you my heart,

Not another time!

You are such a violent fellow,

Hating peace and loving sorrow!

How many hearts have you broken?

Too much pain unspoken.

 

You ruin and go unpunished,

Your reputation untarnished.

Oh love....

You are such a violent fellow,

Hating peace and loving sorrow!

Your lies I resist,

From your lust I desist.
