»So alone«

by Maviyo Nkosi

Days passed, flowers faded, lands became dry,
Water stopped crawling, dreams suttered, tears fell, promises broken.
Still not appeared. There I was, thoughts running through my mind,
Thoughts of you here with me, pictures fading,
Pictures of better, much happier life.

Tears pouring down like water crawling into the sea,
I try to write but the pain wouldn't allow me,
Try to read but can't understand anything,
Shut up to hear what they are saying but no one speaks...I'm so alone

Today I tried to play Poker but it only reminded me of you,
Tried doing things we didn't do but couldn't participate in anything,
Try you on the landline but no answer, check my e-mail – none received...
I'm so alone
