You labored in pain
To bear down the
fruit your womb contained
In fulfillment of a
decree
By the maker you
conformed to, without plea
Yet a choice you had
to Sustain
And with intense joy
you maintained
The first time I
heard I love you
It was coming from
you
And no other has been so
true
When I chose to do
wrong
You did not deny me
where to belong
I broke the calabash
you cherished
I cried for no reason,
keeping you awake all night
You were the manager
of my life and you made me flourish
Serving me all day
and night
And taking shares in my
tears
Now I am trapped in
the grips of fear as days pass by
Because I get closer
to telling you goodbye
Meanwhile I can’t
stand to see you die
If life could be a
legend or a play
Where this love could
forever be in display
I would risk my life
to get magic pearls for you to swallow
And forever live to
receive my love
