I Don't See Why

Agaba Witness 2998 (Rukungiri)



Like a rope of sand,
Love seeps through my hand:
It starts seemingly strong
But ends just along.

Why be in such a stagnant sea
So-called love I cannot see?
I don’t see why
'Tis wrong this to defy _

At least for once for rest
Till one shall prove the best
I’ll find my lane
For a while to walk alone.

About this poem

This poem is solely based on my love life. When love is just starting, it's just stronger than anything else. But it doesn't take longer than it collapses shortly after a simple misunderstanding. So, I decide to be me until I find one who appreciates the ME .
