When It Is Over Poem by Kamogelo Masenya

She goes to her little prayer group during break.
When it's over,
I tell her that this lonliness is more then I can take.
She tells me to go with her. I tell her she can go on her own.
I prefer talking to God alone.
When it's over,
I talk about how I got some things I need to sort out. Then she tells me that she needs to pray for me, that's gonna help me no doubt.
I tell her, I've never been much of a believer. She's stuck with me for so long, I wonder why she thinks I'm a keeper.
When it's over
I keep on asking her, what I'd do without her,
I need her.
So unstable. So insecure. No wonder I always ran
before it's over
just when I have this fear that he's gonna say 'I've got to leave her'
