Lets use your silence as a knife
cut the heart into two
and smile as we watch my blood flood the room
lets make love so i can forget I'm slowly dying
say you love me babe
hear my voice as i beg you
please say you love me
those words can be a band aid to this heart
they will postpone my death
wont ease the pain or stop the bleeding
but they will postpone my death
or our death
Loving always felt like death

Thula sana lwami
A broken heart
doesnt mean you cant stop the bleeding
A tattered soul
doesnt mean you need to stop breathing
Sometimes we need to feel like we dying
in order to keep on living
Even when shadows feel like they are creeping
Your walls feeling haunted
Like ghosts are calling out your name
Never forget to keep on breathing

Thula Thula mtwana
I know tears keep on falling
Your heart keeps on breaking
Dont mind the unfamiliar mirror
If it shows the scars
Just wear the mask
Mask the tears
No one needs to see your broken parts
Whats the use if they can never mend them
What is the use of loving him
If loving never takes away the pain
Sometimes chocolates and painkillers
work better to ease the pain
What if he is nothing but pain

Au thula thula sana lwami
Forget the night he said you were playing hard to get
forced himself on you
and asked if you liked it
Out of fear you said yes
You said yes
Chase away that memory
and remember yo are more than just a broken woman
forget the night he said
he cannot date a broken woman
that you were to broken to be loved
when his love was the one breaking you

Thula Thula Mtwana
God never forgets the broken ones
He said I needed to fix myself and shattered my mirror for good

The angel of death
Dorcus Ramaphala May 2017
He Watches me dance in the rain
Yet ask me why I'm wet
He watches me cut my heart into two
Yet ask me why I'm bleeding
He asks about my scars
Like he didnt witness my suicide attempts
He asks me why my heart is broken
Like he had no hand in it
loving him always felt like death, but kissing him always resuscitates me

Love is a fairytale that I have starred in
I know how it ends
Its never really happily ever after
Your soulmate doesn't always stay
He will save you then you leave you
Teach you love
To only fall out of it

I have seen to many ****** corpses
To believe in forever
I have cried many tears
For happily ever after
The Disney crew forgot to show the other side of love

The side of broken hearted princesses
Surviving on whiskey to stay sane
Cursing love and its maker
Wishing they had never met the prince
That they had never believed in forever

Love is a fairytale I have starred in
And the person you will get married to is not your soulmate
For they exist to teach you love and leave
Your soulmate is made to teach you love and leave you

— The End —
