Femme Fatale (Used To Love You) Poem by kgomotso mabotja

Strange as it may sound
You are just another used to be
Fact be reviewed
You were part of hope that withered

Many are times
Whereby i paid my due
Just to have you touch me
Many nights i curled up
Toes cringing
Anticipating
Waiting
Needing you to hold me

I sacrified my sanity
I buried my senses
I cremated my morals
Ashed all worthiness
And within the same breath
Evoked yearn never to be fulfilled by a mere Hello

You had to be mine
Cos i wanted you
But you didnt want me that bad
All you wanted was to know that im here for you

I used to murmur safety
With every breathe you took
I used to whisper
Forever whenever i saw infinity in you

You moved me
Made me cry
You Hit me
Killed Life inside of me

You buried me alive
And i just sat there like an envelope
Without an address
Awaiting more scars to be printed

You took me by suprise
Cos till today all that
Manifest is indeed
Too good to be true

You used to be loved
By me
And now i am cripple
Yet without a heart
I still feel
Emptiness beats till i dance to the tune
Words comes out to play
And the weak get captivated
The lost see a way out of their wilderness
You ripped joy
And the remainder is insufficient happiness

Used to love you
