Intoxicated By You Poem by Sefofane Shabalala

Intoxicated by you, flawlessly I thought we could relate Yet your flaws divulged, blind you thought I were yet Vividly I saw through that perfect corny smile, kept me Contemplating were you really hurt before like you told me.

Love is blind so they say yet what if I realised your imperfections Then decided not care though to show you, you could be Loved and cared for like you were created to be yet you were not Ready to be… Were you ever telling the truth or just lied through your teeth That you made me believe in love again only to find myself drowning Again through your nobble, I turned my imperfections into noble For you girl, was I ever a fool for love? I guess you'll figure that out.

Funny how one can convince oneself of their autonomous yet they're Viciously contingent, intoxicated by you once when you pretended to Care, when you used to call me on my cellphone for no reason yet I hope you'll realise I was in this for emotions not material gain.
