Shut You Out Poem by Angela Bontle Ditumiso

Once upon a time when love reigned
When the heart was pregnant with happiness
And with expectation that we will forever be
When we talked about ten years to come and saw us united as one
Those days when listening to each others' heartbeats felt like we were listening to love songs
When the atmosphere was charged with ecstasy
When you didn't have to say I love you for me to feel it
When i was the queen parading around as I please in that heart of yours
When memories of our good days brought a smile

Well now it brings tears
A relationship so ripe now rotten
It's sad to think that you still wear the crown of love and live in the castle of my heart still
And I just can't unlove you
I have a strong desire to throw you out of mine heart
But what's the use 'cause you've already corrupted my mind
furthermore on the walls of my heart you wrote your story in bold letter
But still I want to shut you out
I want to forget all about you
