The Undying Love

“Bang”

You pushed the door with aggression.

Tears continuously rolled down your big cheeks.

Your make-up washed off by the heavy rolls of tears.

You preferred a blanket to a handkerchief to hold back your watery eyes.

Your nose commences to run.

Oh, the rain beat off the night-rose powder from your face too!

Your heart races pretty first like a car on a first road test.

Your head full of a zillion thoughts, multi-tasking defeats you!

Looking left or right before crossing the busy road was none of your business!

Luckily, the road was not so busy that day and you made it safely to the other end.

You hurriedly walked and shouted at the nearest boda-boda guy.

“Take me to mummy in Kotido”, you directed.

“Kotido, on a boda-boda? But we are in Kampala madam”, the boda-boda guy calmly replied

Your clear thought at this point begun to diminish, your judgmental sense at the lowest too!

“You know what?, just drop me at Nana hostel”, you yelled.

On the boda-boda, your zillion thoughts wildly surpass human imagination.

You start to shiver!

“How could he do this to me? B-u-u-u-t I loved him”, you questioned your inner-being

The wind on the boda-boda ride blows off your scarf and a few rolls of tears too

You look down at your feet and oh, you are shoe-less!

You cared less!

Suicidal thoughts now kick in!

You suddenly think of either buying rat poison or overdosing on different pills so that you could forever rest in peace!

You pondered! You wondered!

Alas! The rope seemed the best remedy!

You walk in a shop in Kikoni and buy a rope

“...but Martin, how could you?”, you ask your inner-being again

You rushed back to the hostel room, took a cold bath and ate your boiled noodles.

You grabbed your make-up and started applying but the tears kept peeling it off!

The thought of beautification before suicide was the only thing running in your mind

“How could he?”, you whispered

You climbed the chair and passed your head through the knot

Away the chair was kicked!

The world spun and turned dark!

Your breathe reduced!

Heart rate dropped!

Foam is released!

The struggle given up!

Angels hear your inner cry!

Your room-mate walks in!

You are saved!
