<<BEFORE YOU...>>
mpho mahlangu Nov 2015
I used to be a free soul
Happy and joyful at most
I used to laugh a lot and smile all the time
My days used to be all sunshine,
And even after stormy and windy days
-I used to find my rainbows at end
But that was before you...
You appeared like a monarch butterfly
Pretty, yet poisonous
You said you could make me merrier
and I was a fool to believe you
You charmed me with your warmth
The purport of a rare and worthy kind that you aren't
Little did I know then how great of a ****** you are
You made me feel unique, you made me feel special
You became an ideal friend and I was grateful
You kept me wrapped around your fingers
And like a fool I danced to every tune of yours
You fed on my kindness until none was left inside me
Suddenly you became my brains, and I was your puppet
You used me to your satisfaction until I became a useless tool
And just like trash, you threw me out without regret
You left me heartbroken, full of anger and destroyed
I was a wrack and everyone else had to pay
Because of you I made a habit of hurting others
Because of you I have no remorse left in me
Before you I was me, and now, I am you...

— The End —
