Pacifique Niyitanga

Antonym of Happiness

At the end of the day

Before we fall asleep,                                    

Cheerfully staring at

Dazzling sky full of stars;

 

Enamored of her dimples,

Flawless smile, and word

Gorgeous couldn’t depict

How stunning she looked;

I laid my head in her arms.

 

Just like velvet to my skin,

Kisses on my forehead felt

Like a heaven, but that was

My last breath on the moon

 

Never knew it was the end

Of her love and my drama;

Pinned turning to archived,

Questions without answers;

Right but harsh, I let her go.

 

She came around, loved me,

Taught me how to be a man

Until I learned to ignore the

Value of her tears; poor girl.

 

With her, bliss was anything;

Xena who tried to lift me up,

Yet I did not even notice her

Zeal for our love, I was blind.
