The Poetry Of A Girl In West Africa

What We Never Shared

We shared a bond 

We cannot break.

We shared a belief

No one can mar

We shared love

That the ancient gods couldn't give.

We share the same blood

Running through our veins

We bear the mark

That can't be erased.

We share the pains and anxiety

That nobody believes we'd been

through.

We shared the same philosophy

That keeps us moving.

And when I'm weak, you're weak

When I'm sad you're sad

We share weakness, 

Even when it's inexplicable

We almost share everything

The same world even when it triggers

 Apart from the life that keeps alive

The breath that we can't do without.

The flesh that clothed and housed our souls

The shadows that never run faster than us.

The throat that swallows what we takes.

And for the fact that We found the grace 

That keeps us on the same pace.

I'm glad that we met  

The reason to hold on; my soulmate

Therefore Let us pray that we are keep alive

That our bond which binds us together be strong as ever

As happy and happier

We will become.
