Poem "To Be Rightfully Mine In Time" by Lerato Jahder Mollomabina (South Africa)

»To Be Rightfully Mine In Time«

by Lerato Jahder Mollomabina, January 18, 2019

I know, I want to make you mine forever.
I know, Waking up next to you temporarily tortures.
I know, Walking with your hand in mine is limited.

Saying I love you is our daily food.
Are you really mine though?
I’m starving
The craving opportunity to be each other presence.
The butterflies at your glance
It is reincarnation because I seem to have loved you before.

I know our love is borrowed.
I know our love is real
I know we will be alright.

Deep down I know
I know you are meant to be mine, and
I know I was made to be yours.

Know that I didn't die because my heart stopped, / I died because it was broken / my life is sensitive, so I don't discuss it. / she gained my trust, so hell / I told her about my life / she characterized it to friends / I will never trust again. / / I did want to die before, / I knew I was stronger than sign in to read more »
