»I will give you wings«

by Thandeka Bathandwa Mavundla, October 2, 2016

My beautiful, my sunshine!
I will do anything for you!
Name it! Say it! Dream it!
I will do it all!
I will give you wings!

I believe! I'm taken! I'm sold!
Days, months, years go by!
I remind him, "My love, I need wings, I want to fly".
No! You don't need wings, I'm here, you have me!

Can't he do it! Was it a trap?
I'm shuttered! I'm let down!
I pick the pieces , tears in my eyes...

I can still remember the broken promise...
Name it! Say it! Dream it!
I will do it all!
-a broken promise, a broken heart
