Heart In A Cage Poem by Benson Buiswalelo

Darkness are my days of youth
Opened my heart to a ripper of hearts
After she ripped and shuttered my heart into countless pieces.

I was left alone in the cold rain of December
Lovers in umbrellas passed me by as I gathered my heart's broken pieces.

Sat alone on a table for two on Christmas eve
With no one to tell "Marry Christmas "
My desert was bitter and sour

My heart is recovering
But I still worry for my heart
I will never open my heart again
I have locked it inside a cage
And it shall be kept there
Until that faithful day comes
When the soul meant for mine
Comes and frees my heart from its cage
And my heart will know love again...
