Poem: Concubine

He walked to me after kissing her first

I wondered if he loved me, our link lasted for years

He came when it was dark and we made love

Then he left me full of doubts when the sun was up

He said he loved my curves and my full soft lips

And he liked my hair down to my very fingertips

I felt happy that he adored me more than her

But was lonely being just a second partner

He came one night and said He loved me

My heart jumped and I turned emotionally happy

We hugged and kissed, we made it to bed

He smelled of liquor and had a dizzy head

For years, I believed those words were true

I continued to love him even though it was against the law

He lived with me for months, my hope was high

But he left me one day with a sorrowful sky

Then came the day I vomited and was feeling sick

I told him I was pregnant, on the telephone he was silent

Tears flooded my cheeks for he was not really mine

And I was regretful being just his dirty concubine...
