Removing The Tattoo On My Heart Poem by Nqubeko chase Sithole

My heart alone needs peace; it took me a while to stop loving you.
No space for thoughts, no heart to love and no hate to even remember you.
I was too deep into you, but on my way back you were already gone with someone else.
I guess it took you to draw yourself on someone else’s heart to realise you no longer belong to mine.

I remove this tattoo with human hatred and cause of the scares it will leave on my heart.
Fine I messed up your heart too, but you doubled the price on mine because you stayed too long and you got deeper in me.
Fine, I’ll never forget you my tattoo cause of the scars that remain but I’m sure to never miss you in memory of your pain.

You’ve been the inspiration to my poems as poet I respect that…. I guess I needed you somewhere in my life as a mark.
You were full of memories and motivation. I found love in your tears because you cried but you still could smile hoping things will be okay.
Life will forever have its decisions for someone with their own mind just like a heart will always choose who to love.

If I could bring back your purity I would but since I cannot, all I can do is wish that the next person who has you feels like the first time.
Don’t cry, enjoy it, look beautiful and make it special like it your wedding day. Every heart would want a tattoo to join up all around no matter how much it has been broken.

A dedication to love is different from the addiction to words. Words change, love remains. Love breaks and words will heal. I hope you happy and will never remember me at any point because as I remove you, you will never hear or see me again...
