Aquarius Poem by Lihle Shezi

seeing your dream dying depresses me,
remember when you said you
can't exist without me?
a beautiful lie to keep you sleeping.
remember when you said I was your everything?
You must have forgotten breathing.
You existed your smile at Eden
and placed my fragile heart amongst the prosy.
You were capable of loving me forever
But you realised that forever is too long to love
someone soo empty.
for me, paucity is a chromosome.
It's a sum of the things my mother
didn't pray for.
when you need those who don't need you,
you'd really fathom the pain of dying
before someone who claimed to do it for you.
Trees dance to the feeling of wind.
pieces from a broken heart scrap the cold,
tears hoping to recollect your I love you
because their absence puzzles eardrums.
