Osemwenoyenmwen Ogbemudia
Tear drops like dew drops
Clear as crystals
Dropped from his eyes
And fell to the ground like flower petals
A thousand pieces of broken bottle
A drop at first
A steady flow it became
Soon a puddle was formed
As I watched
My heart bled
Every drop
A deadly squeeze to my heart
Today this picture is still etched in my mind
A friend who wept
Sitting with his legs stretched out
His hands between his thighs
Weeping for love betrayed
A bond broken
Without a pinch from conscience
