Leave Me If You Can't Love Me Poem by Evelyn Mokoroane

Happy we are, or at least were;
Now I can't seem to even know where I stand with you;
Its like her presence has blurred my position in your heart.
I lived to make you happy
Tried to fill every void in your heart
Gave you all that I had, enough is it?
I guess only you can stand to answer that question.
King of my heart, you have become;
I too was surprised that I consisted of such powerful love;
As I always thought that love was just a fairy-tale
Told by those who never wanted to lose hope.
Now uncertainty seems to cloud my judgements& thoughts;
Uncertain is I who is now starting to think that he who is my present
Might now just remain a shadow in my past.
Unlike most his reflection and his existence shall shadow me all the days of my life
I shall remain connected to him even though we will always be diverged.
I've come to learn what happiness feels like
I too have got the chance to stand amongst those who say 'yeah love is real'
Incredible it felt, your love was water that delivered me from thirst;
Sure I was then, but what now?
What if this is our edge, our pit, our dead end...
What if I'm about to remain just a statistic in your life
And you will live to be just another mistake in my past?
Must I walk away?
Should I fight for you or should I let u fight for us?
Am I a coward if I step back and let you fight the battle of your past by yourself?
If ghosts of your past keep creeping their way back into our lives
Is it expected of me to play ghost buster on creatures that are strangers to me?
Fair it seems not to be;
For me to be caught up in your past, while mine I've squeaky cleaned for you not to
get hurt
Or feel strained along.
Honored and loved; is all I've fought to make feel.
Whether or not you are willing to do the same for me is totally up to you.
But strained along, I refuse to be
Even for the name of love.
I shall learn to let go of you and accept that a memory is all you'll live to be in my
life,
I am not perfect, but if what I am is not enough for you
Then feel free to fly my birdy friend.
Yeah I love you and you drive me completely insane
But I forbid to be made a prisoner of love.
Sharing has always not been my thing;
I have never practiced it;
But even if I were to start now, it wouldn't be with my man.
So please just leave me if you can't love me.
