When I First Met You


When I first met you
I promised to be true
I promised to be good
Good and true to you
And you did the same too
.
But promises are not made
At the spur of the moment
There will be mountains of doubts
There will be valleys of fears
Even with someone you hold dear

A little stream of doubt
Can become an ocean of fear
Tearing at the fibers of the soul
Once shy, I became bold
But the love has gone cold               

Poem by Joe Umoh Etuknwa
