Letter From An Ex by pchima: 7:51pm On Aug 10, 2009
You say it’s over and you need to get away

Against this day did I silently pray

To heaven I petitioned that this once I should get it right

My prayer was answered but only to worsen my plight

If I knew I’d be in love I never would have started

How do I face myself and say “that’s another angel departed”

Imperfect man I am and always will be

Weak and frail with failings like a tattered raft at sea

I desperately sought the anchor of your love

And you came to me that faithful day like an answer from above

Just when I thought I had been rescued

My joy away from me has been pursued

Your presence was the high point of my day

I know I never said what I wanted and needed to say

Maybe if I did you would be here with me

But I did not so you are far and free

Pancake I miss your smile and your mischief

I miss you coming to take away our collective grief

It might very well be too late

But I’d rather be late than never this state

You were the centre of my world

You were more than my “warri girl”

You it was I thought of before I slept

You it was for that a special part of my heart I kept

"My north my south my east and west

My working week my Sunday rest"

My one, my all, my rise, my fall

My run, my crawl, my flight, my stall

My little bird, my dove

My Pamela, My love
