Mar 2021
I pretend to be alone
because l am alone.
I pretend to cry so
that you may cry with me.
I choose to remain a shadow
of my own nostalgia,
so as to become a memory
refusing to die.
because l am alone.
I pretend to cry so
that you may cry with me.
I choose to remain a shadow
of my own nostalgia,
so as to become a memory
refusing to die.
(21/M/South Africa)
