Insecurities
Hlelolwenkosi Feb 28
The self-love buried in her sandy brown eyes
Waiting for the wind to settle down
To have a clear vision of who she is
She's growing a deep rooted tree embedded with self-doubt
Only if she knew her tears are watering the tree
Strengthening her biggest rivalry
Hlelolwenkosi Feb 28
I choose to bury my love for him in my heart
In this way I will have closure
Since the grave is within me

Mi-Angelo
Hlelolwenkosi Feb 28
He looked like a cinematic view
Altering my perception of peace
As I could feel his love immerse hugs I never knew my soul needed

Her
Hlelolwenkosi Feb 28
Her
Is it still fair
When my personality traits are a compilation of her memories
When I found out colours discriminate
Because why does red look so much better on her
When my heart willingly chose you
But somehow you look so much better beside her

I hate you
Hlelolwenkosi Feb 28
Your presence feels like slow poison
I'm dying  
As I consume a dose of you daily

Suicide
Hlelolwenkosi Feb 28
Her tears were seen as aesthetic
They were picture deserving
But never hug worthy
Hlelolwenkosi Feb 27
And the thought of us
Feels like reliving yesterday
Agonizingly impossible
Because today exists.

Him
Hlelolwenkosi Feb 27
Him
In my world
Your absence is an offensive crime
As my heart is under arrest
And only your presence can bail me out
Just found out his absent at school

Tears are my escape plan
Hlelolwenkosi Feb 27
Pieces placed on my palms
As I try to rebuild what I've broken
With glue as my conscience
Of never keeping anything altogether
My TOUCH
Being the wrong ingredient in a well constructed recipe
I never had to take accountability
Was deemed as the suspect already
Gave birth to my fear of touching anything
As my guilt surrenders to each piece of broken glass
And sometimes I wonder if I really love him
Or I found some sense of belonging within him
An expirement of my capability to hold something safe
To find closure in knowing that for once I'm not the danger
No sight of warnings signs
Upon the close proximity of my presence
A young girl who was never given a chance to explain. Her clumsiness being her worst enemy as she has developed a fear of holding anything close to her. So she tries to eliminate the possibility of destroying everything and everyone around her.
