....... Poem by Katlego Rasegwete

I lied....

Committed foul to your heart

Raped your trustworthy



Unlike pencil writings

Where errors can be erased

Mine are like an ocean will never dry away

Just like time

Can't reverse what I did



From angel of your dreams to a ghost of you nightmares

From sweet to poisonous

That's how I transformed in your eyes

From being able to dilute or merge what we had to making

What we had be oil and water where they can't be mixed



I know

Your calabash is starved with my mistakes

No words I can say to vanish away your pain

But I am sorry



When I did what I did

I never thought I was constructing volcano

Whereby I get burnt and you get wreck up apart



How can I rescue you from drowning in tears for which I implemented?

How can I restore your happiness again?

Wishing I can divert all your pains to me

I am sorry please forgive me
