AM HONOURED THAT YOU LEFT!

You shot and I survived

Survivor was shot again

And since am cold dead

I have nothing more to lose

You were all there was to be won...

Am entitled to secrecy

And a dose of loneliness

But I publicly defy shame

More so I loathe anonymity

Am he who lost your love...

I have lost everything

So I battle for dignity

I slither to shame not.

So I wear your rejection,

Like a badge of honour...

Who thought loneliness is sweeter?

Than love that won’t last.

Am glad you made me know,

What you did deserves a crown

Am honoured that you left...

"AM HONOURED THAT YOU LEFT!"
