Nomfundo Mtsweni Poems

I watch you sleep
Temporarily paralyzed
Quite and still
Lips slightly parted
...

Before winter ends
I'd love to warm myself up with memories
Flashbacks of my experience with cold
I bet you were never told
...

I'm going through it all over again
Its like it was just yesterday when he forced his way in and teared me apart...
From enjoying my early adulthood without constantly having to rub on my bleeding scars...
A reminder of how much of a survivor I'm...
...
