Two Untittled Pieces Poem by Jenny Mumba

Have You ever loved someone
But knew they didn't care?
Have You ever felt like crying
But Knew you'd get no where?
Have you ever looked into their eyes
And said a little prayer?
Have you ever looked into their hearts
And wished that you were there?
Have you ever felt their heartbeat,
When the lights were turned down low?
Have you ever whispered 'God, I love You'
But you'll never let me show?
Love is grand, yet it hurts so much.
The price you pay is high.
If I could choose between Love and Death,
I'd rather choose to die.
So do not fall in love, my friend,
It doesn't pay a dime.
It only causes broken hearts,
Yet it happens all the time.
So do not fall in love, my friend,
You'll hurt before it's through.
I ought to know, my friend
I fell in love with you.
For it is not written in the stars
And perhaps it will never be
I am my own companion
The dreaded truth
Gathered in a lifetime
Sentenced for an eternity
Realized too late
