Poetry: A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS By: Abubakr Damilare[Maiyaki]


Deeply lost in thoughts, her mind travels 'beyond the black stump'. 
How soon can she forget  about the night she stumbled upon a solacer ?
Each time her soul collided with peace, he reminded her that he was a comforter.

Because the night her heart finally allowed him have a walk-in, he promised her it wasn't going to be a sojourn. That is, it won't be business as usual.
But to her dismay, she began to feel like a stranger.

She used to think that she was a major stakeholder in his decisions, until after her stance got discarded.
She watched how his tender hands rubbed mud on her sorry face. The moment when his compassion suddenly became a frontier of deceit, his smile also became the trigger of a poisonous arrow which was pulled by the bitter words of his mouth. Before the last straw which broke the Camel's back came inform of a letter. A letter which got her heart viciously punctured.

But now that you have left,
May I crave your indulgence Mr. divorcer, that the 'loopholes' you left are yet to be blocked.
That flow of blood is abysmal. And we have all agreed with you, that you indeed have left a legacy in her life. Though I am sorry to disappoint, it's a major scar that you have left. And guess what, scars don't fade.
But henceforth, she had decided to move on.
