They will all pay dearly

They Will all pay dearly
     I was in bed with you as we both cuddled and slept. Hours later you stood up from the bed and left with words unsaid.

     I heard the sound of water that ran into the  drum. There in bed I was still laid waiting to hear from you.  Just then I heard gunshots from outside and  I was so scared to come out.

     You went fetch water but you left your empty can of water lying carelessly on the ground.

Here you are lying faced-up in black ashes clothed round
About you.  You left me at 5:57am so you could get the first fetch
From the stream but everyone  muddles it up by morning.
     They burnt my love.  They left me without you.  I'm pregnant and I held it in for a morning surprise news to you. They  say they had been after a black morning thief.
 You weren't their thief.
     You were my love
        The father of my unborn child.
The dawn is here and the real thief has been captured. They brought him
To the village square  for Mockery first and death  afterwards.  Yet no soul is remorseful for having killed you.
 I will come after then one by one. I'd come as the night thief and draw them out of their houses, maim and finally kill them.
They met the wrong  woman and the for the wrong reasons they'll all pay dearly.
