Deserted when I needed you the most

Tanyaradzwa Karen Guwakuwa

The pain could be felt from the heart.

Everything seemed shattered and torn apart.

Since the time I was brought into this world,

As soon as you gave me life,

You just vanished into thin air and left me when l needed you the most.

Every minute seemed like an hour,

Every hour seemed like a day,

Every day seemed like a week,

Every week seemed like a month,

Every month seemed like a year and,

Every year seemed like a decade,

As time passed by without you by my side.

My eyes were always watery every day as I was being castigated and had noone to act as my shield as you left me to suffer alone in this fiendish world.

All l could do was to just cry in vain.

Your absence in my life when l needed you the most,

Made my life seem like a horror movie.

It felt as if l was captivated and would never be a free bird.

I was like a sunflower growing up without its sunshine as l grew up as you left me when l needed you the most.
