I Can'T Hold On Any Longer Poem by Tholang Khunyeli

You have changed.
You are not the friend I used to know
The friend that I loved and cared about, the friend who was
there for me in good times and bad times
I don't know what brought us to this point
I told you a couple of times how I am feeling. but I guess you
heard me speak but I don't think you were listening
I just can't hold on any longer

The life of our friendship is now dependent on me alone
When we speak is because I initiated it, when we see each other is because I arranged it and when we laugh is because I made the joke
It never used to be like this, we used to share everything
Its breaking my heart

When you changed,
I thought it would only be for a while
But it has taken longer than a year
I thought if I gave you and our frienship all I got,
you would realise my importance in your life
I have been waiting a long time
I can't hold on any longer

We are on the edge
Ihave been holding on for far too long for you to pull
me from this edge
Can't you see I am about to fall?
I am just holding on with just the tip of my fingers
l am tired and I am angry
look at me and see the tears in my eyes
because I am letting go now
Watch me fall because I just can't hold on any more.
