Issue 4

By Mubiru Emmanuel Rodney

I’m Sorry

I'm sorry for the calls that led into tears

For the promises i made and later buried in my fears

I did not want an end that was full of depression

Because you were once my light and only validation

I'm sorry i didn't watch the selfish animal i had become

Hiding in my ambitions forgetting that we were one

Constant reminders of how sightless i was askew

Only to overfill my ears and turn deaf too

I'm sorry for blowing all the fun away

The laughter, chat, love and gamy I threw astray

Replaced with a solitude so big i now beget

As the void you left is so big a cleft

I'm sorry for whatever I can't say

For I wronged you in ways I can't contemplate

Hoping you can forgive me one day

Because it wasn't the best checkmate we could conjugate


From Mubiru Emmanuel Rodney: I'm from Uganda, currently a student at Makerere University pursuing a Bachelor's of Dental Surgery.I'm an upcoming poet. I just love poetry because it's a way of really expressing things that one goes through that the outside world doesn't see.
