Dear Me, Do Not Drown!

Writer's picture: Charlotte Serwaa OwusuCharlotte Serwaa Owusu

I thought these dances with heartbreaks were over

I never wanted to have one anyway

My pen was not to have this conversation on this paper

He is a Casanova but I saw the blue moon in his eyes

and I knew he was mine

I felt his gentle knocks on my heart and I knew he was home, where he belonged

The guardian of my galaxy, he never knew



Four straight nights of endless pain I drowned in silent tears

about the tragic loss of my life in the game of chess

At least I hoped for a stalemate

The crowded shouted - CHECKMATE

They needed not to, I knew it!

He walked out of my door and carried my world with him

Yes, I had played chess with him and

all I wanted was a win by his side

But once again, I was checkmated!


I am drowning in a river of pain

It would have been better if it was a pit of pain instead

At least a ladder of escape may be within my reach

But no! I am drowning and he is too blind to see,

too blind because he has my moon in his eyes

Only the announcement of mortal remains found in the Euphrates will bring him back to reality

Only the chills of the breeze from 'asamando' (ghostland) will awaken his memories

And only the sound of my mother's cries will tell him he has killed an innocent soul!
