Unwanted Lover Poem by David N. Munene

No point dreaming
That the day is coming
When my glory in you I shall re-find
Even should I my character refine
Talk shall yield more talk
And walk never shall it ever
Like a withering rose,
Whose rot has hit the roots,
My place in you has no shoots

The cuddle that turned you on
Now bothers and chokes you off
The kiss that made you like snake hiss
Is now your nighttime piss
The touch that aroused your pheromones
Is the same that disgusts your hormones
The skin that ignited your passions
Now makes yours grow scorching lesions

It is enough that you are honest
As I should be with myself
It hurts like hell fire in my chest
And my lachrymose almost always burst
But it is I that have you lost
For you will always be my best
And slowly I am becoming your worst
With no path to recover at any cost
My place in your eroticism's nest

So, go on my love,
Find now the one you'll love
The one who will give you love
Better that I ever have
The one that shall turn you on
At the stroke of a finger lead you on
No fault of yours that I no longer own
The magic wand that peeled your night gown
And part your legs without a frown

Perhaps you will find your ten over ten
The ten that I was to you once then
And rediscover your passions forgotten
For I am no longer your one
And this I say with a heavy heart
With tears restrained falling on my shirt
Yet knowing it will soon be a past
In whose memories I shall languish
With incessant pain and living anguish

Oh how I have fallen!
Oh what life has from me stolen!
Oh how painful rejection has gotten!
But do not feel sorry for me
I shall cry my tears a sea
And clear my heart to again see
That I let you be to be
The one you were always meant to be
The phoenix that rises beyond my being

My love, do not let me know
Who your ten is when you know
For jealousy will devastate my soul
And leave my happy heart foul
Leave me guessing than cursing
Go ye forth and leave me nursing
The wounds of a glory vanished
Amidst a fiery desire extinguished
In the dust forever diminished

I am your unwanted lover
The one that loves like none other
This one that left the other
For none other but you my lover
My well of hopes to be your lover
Has slowly lost its fire to gather
The springs of hope to be your lover
The lover that you would want as a lover
And this shall hurt beyond six feet under

As a drenched woolen coat in the rain
That will nothing from the rain gain
I am done absorbing your disdain
In the wee of the night will I feel my pain
That you may never be forced to regain
The desire towards me that you restrain
In your sight I shall nay remain
Neither shall I urges for you retain
For in marriage I cannot abstain
