How Can I Be Friend With You? Poem by Katlego Rasegwete

we just can't be friends
As u are my password for me to access happiness
As it feels like you the power-button for activation of my mojo

Loving you hurts! ! ! !
If oonly you see how it rains on my eyes for you
If only you know how helpless and weak I become when realizing I don't have you
Loving you hurts as it makes me strong to smile
But messes me up

What type of a friend am I to you?
When I cry 4u like a toddler
What type of a friend am I to you?
Who promises to do everything that even your lover won't do

I need you in my calabash
Like air we inhale to stay alive
Suffocated a lot by this lonelyness
Brused too much by window-shopping happiness that I dream

How can this word 'friends' be cremated?
Then give birth to 'lovers'
How can this dream of having you be transformed to reality

My world is hacked by your beauty and personality
That's why I love u so much
Also roofed by the curse of loving you
But encrypted pain of your shortage

How can a mouse be a friend to a cheese?
How can positive and negative electrons integrate?
How can after finding the truth aFter been lied cause peace? ?
How can you take-away your shadow where there is light?

How can I be friend to you when I am totally in love with you?
