Sebastine Humaemo - Punishment for a life term.....

Hearing your voice I woke up
then realized it can't be
because Iam deaf

feeling your touch I tickled
then realized it can't be
because Iam senseless

seeing you cry, I reached to wipe
then realized it can't be
because I got no sight

when you starve, I wanna feed you
then realized it can't be
because I got no limbs

seeing you fall, I ran to help
then realized it can't be
because Iam lame

admiring you smile, I smiled too
then realized it can't be
because I don't kno, what smile is

when you sang under rain, felt am singing too
then realized it can't be
because Iam a dumb

felt your touch again and got tickled
I realized, this time it's true
opening my eyes I saw you there
sitting one me with someone whom you love

silly then I realized
you can't hear my cries for sure
for am still a lonely bench on this park
lifeless for others, though I got life
and my life is just for you

was it my curse to born as a tree
watered by your hands making me grow
guess falling in love with you
Is the mistake I made
because now Iam killed and shaped as a bench
to hold you lifelong on my laps
kneeling on my four legs............
