i had my heart broken an hour ago

i cried for 40 minutes

i still feel the burning sensation in my chest

almost chocked on my own tears

love isn't beautiful

love is a tragedy.

It was our anniversary yesterday,

happiest day this year

i had my heart broken an hour ago

This tears would probably never dry up

My chest would probably always hurt,

but this is the end of love for me

this is the end of us.

Is it wrong to say that i love these tears

hate my fears

and avoid all cares

does it make sense to say that i love you but i cant love you

Im too in love with these tears

Im too terrified of these fears

the warmth of these drops rolling down my cheeks

the warmth of your skin on mine

palm to palm

dusk to dawn.

i don't love you anymore,

My heart is too pure for you

my love is too real for you to reciprocate

my tears fall for you

my heart bleeds for you

but these tears are mine

i'll pack it up and hide it under my bed

these tears are mine

You dont deserve my love

i dont deserve this life.

Take away my fears and leave me with my tears

Give me all my love but take along my cares.

These tears provide my warmth in the coldest nights.

when my mind began to cloud

i began thinking out loud.

Dear Daddy,
Do you know what these men say to me?

With their
eyes and their mouths
when I walk on the street.

With a grin and a nod
and a look up and down.
A wink and a kiss
and a cat call heard from downtown.

With my skirt short
and my top
low,
It’s a cold world daddy
and no
doesn’t mean no.

Daddy do you know
how these men look at me?

Like I’m a piece of meat
strutting down the street?
With my head buds in
and my favorite song on.

I’m asking for it Daddy,
I’m in the wrong.

Do you know how it feels
not to wear what I like?

To walk a little faster
when I’m alone at night?

Daddy the world is my predator
and I am it's doe,
Daddy what happens
when I can’t say no?

Have you ever been so sad it almost felt like

depression

Have you ever felt like running away,escaping

escaping from your own skin, your own life?

your soul simply leaving your body

transcend into another life

a happier life,a perfect place.

she whispers in my ear

"run away with me, take a leap of the edge and

transcend with me, come dance with me,lets go to a

happy place, a perfect place, lets escape"

She whispers those words to my heart, my bleeding

heart,

but im not ready to runaway

im not ready to give up

im not ready to leap

im not ready to die.

When my mind began to cloud,

i began thinking out loud.

She stands tall.
Shaken by the regime - all the way to a fall.
Still standing firm in her roots,
striving against the cabinet in suite.

She stands tall.
Her roots being hacked at and poisoned,
yet she does not fall.

She does not fall.
Insults hit her heart,
yet she does not begin to stall,
but her heart begins to fall.

She does not fall.
Now she stands taller
like an elegant self-conscious queen,
but with the heart of a mother that no one has ever seen.


Slowly breaking,
She falls.

The abuse has become too much.
Just to name a cause;
It was you with your helpful, root unearthing touch.

RIP Mama Afrika.
