The Best Poem Of Aristide NDAHAYO

I Gave Up On You

We were so happy and content with life,
Without you how will I strive?
Why you left me and took another way,
I kept on looking helplessly at the bay....

I gave you my life,
I gave you my love,
Then how could you betray me,
How could you shove?
I gave you my soul,
Coz you had a great role, In my life,
Go and please don't come back again.

You know that you were the world to me,
Beyond you nothing I could see,
But, you left me without any reason.

My only fault was that I loved you a lot,
You were my only thought...
You know that, my only wish was to have you in my life,
But things were not the same from your side,
I thought you will love me the way I do,
But, you had some feelings untrue,
Life moves on with time and,
I have lost my hopes to call you mine.


Now, I gave up on you
I gave up on you it's been so long,
You have messed up the lyrics of my beautiful song.
I gave up on you, and now it's just a thought,
To the best of my will,
I fought, I gave up on you,
the hope is departed,
It's all lost before it could be started....


Anyway, Goodbye from my side,
End this apathy and tide!
Now I won't trust love ever again,
I will never love anyone again,
I have lost faith in love!
