Pain is an addict
Life offers everyone
To test firmness.

Silence and arguments
Remained consistent
Over the days
Of finding the realness.

I made you swap
Into the person
Nobody ever saw you
Over the years.

Been awaiting for long
For honest answers
With million questions
You finally asked me!

If I did not like you,
If I started unloving you,
If I hated you,
If I hid any secrets from you.

Unanticipated I lied
Without acknowledging,
You knew the truth
For a very long time.

Hell bent you were
To settle this
Right at the day
Your nephew was born.

Late afternoon at the hospital
You stood in the carport
When I began to confess
Every truth I buried deep.

I was horrified
When your mouth spelt
The numbers and names
I was obsessed chatting with.

That evening
I realised that it was
The day I wished
Wasn't in the calendar.

Little did I know
I couldn't stop the time
And the night ends
When the sun hits your face.
