Return My Smile Poem by Keitumetse Mokhohlane

Return my smile

I'm in need,
I gave you my trust,
In you, I trusted!
Said we were to last,
And so, we lasted!
Took a move,
Move from your hometown,
To somewhere, you sought love
In a city, that's more like Sun city!
Please, I'm on my knees
Fast, dust makes me sneeze
Winter cold, makes me freeze
Kindly, return my smile I'm in need
I told myself,
Myself that smile is a foundation for happiness;
So, I hid it all in my heart's shelf
So, I sank into loneliness
I've been faking,
Since I was hurting,
It's overwhelming, to keep trying
Trying to spend time, without smiling!
Come back to our place,
It's now as big as a palace,
Then, you'll get to see each others face
Return my smile, I'm in need.
