Presciption To A Broken Heart Poem by Mankhokwe Namusanya

To have a broken heart does not require much thinking
Nor is it very involving

All you have to have is a beautiful woman
Whom you should love than anything else

Then,
Tell her how beautiful she is
And,
Explain to her how much you love her

Show her a little jealousy
Handle her with a child’s hands

Do not hide to her your absolute love
In the morning, afternoon and before the sun sets
Not forgetting before going to bed

Feed her with nutritious romantic messages
Each and every week
Make her phone calls almost daily

Please,
Do not forget to tell her that you will marry her
Though it is not yet time to think about marriage

Do not forget to announce to her
That she is the only one in the whole world

Do overfeed her with some lies
On a daily basis

Then,
She will feel pompous
Feel that she is the most beautiful lady on planet earth
And,
She will come one day
To tell it’s over
She no longer needs you
And there you will have:
A broken heart.
