Lindokuhle Dawordplaymind Nkosi Poems

The memories of you captures my mind like a slave
My heart expresses mixed emotions

My hopes are slowly fading away like darkness at dawn
...

Heaven I need a hug
The last kiss
I need that last fight
For heaven you're holding my
...

I was afraid to voice out my opinions in some things, always felt dumb and small
I felt abused verbally
Emotionally and sometimes sexually and physically
See, my biggest mistake was to call you my everything
...

Are these the leaders of tomorrow?
Who joyfully swim in the pool of liquor
Who drowns their youthfulness in pits
As they are enslaved by Nyaope and Heroine
...

She left me holding a picture of her in my hand
And she said this picture will always play as a reminder in my mind
That even when we are no longer together
It will serve as a bystander

Dear Ex Yam'
Bowuthi sonke leskhathi ngeke ngikhohlwe ngawe
Uthi ngeke ngikhohlwe ngakho konke okuphathelene nawe
Engani bowuthi nguwe
...

Le inkondlo ekhohlakele!
Ephuma kusonkondlo owonakele!
Engani ngiphila kulomagade okhohlakele,
Owonakele!
...

Some fear the darkness, not the eye
I was formed in it, deep in my mother's womb
There was no light present
Deep in my head rest the minds eye
...

All I do is to jog through the memories of what we used to be
I'm caged by my own thoughts, my mind don't know what it means to be free
Every second that passes by I think about her even more
Everyday I ask myself questions like why?
...

As we are about to jog through the new path of love together
I see my hopes and dreams resurrects to be newer
I forget about everything of the past
I forget about everything that matters in the world
