I Hurt But Not Show Poem by Kgosigkadi Asher Mavuso

The presents of me I feel not when you inside
The love I feel shadows the fear of loosing you
Blinds the hatred I should be feeling
Heals the wounds
The pain I feel fades away

While I climax I remember not
You cheat; you lie
Yet I still open for your skin
I still ask for more
I worry not
In-fact to conceive I don’t mind

But you not worth my love
Neither are you worth my trust
You not worth my tears
Neither are you worth my smile

If I were to leave
I would break and you would break too
I know

I know that I’m clouded
Clouded in love
Stupid I know
Yet I don’t stop
Yet it grows even
