My One True Love Poem by Luvo Mjayezi

Little did I know that when I let you go I lost the biggest part of my heart. You told me you loved me with your whole heart. How could I not trust you? You who filled up my life with joy and laughter, the one who trully believed in me. Oh God I miss your sweet voice, the way you would sing for me no matter who was around. You assured me, made me secure and put me on a pedestal no man could ever reach. Still I doubted you, scared as I was of your love. So I was right and you were wrong and now all that’s left are regrets and an empty vessel is what I've become. I'd give up my pride and be wrong if that would convince father time to let me go back and rectify my mistakes. I can't eat, only your love can satisfy this deep hunger. No amount of water seems to quench the thirst I feel for your fresh breath of life into my spirit. The days are long and the nights never seem to come to an end as I stare at an empty blue wall silently missing you. Slowly I deteriorate into nothingness with my memory of you
