You Killing My Senses Poem by Kgosigkadi Asher Mavuso

Words twisted, feelings confused
I feel invaded; robbed; abused; stabbed; toned and naked
Unclean and impure
Words misunderstood feelings confused
Think, think, think
I’m going insane
I feel num
My brain feels sow and swollen
My heart feels weak and cold
My soul feels empty
When will you learn how to love me?
When will you learn how to care for me?
When will you learn how to overstand me?

Need I say you don’t deserve to be loved?
Need I say you don’t deserve to be cared for?

You abusing my need for you
You raping my love
You killing our future

Taking my love for granted
Taking my love for a fool
I don’t want to love you anymore
I want to stop loving you

Words said with no meaning
Yet they still find a way to my feelings
Feelings I’ve hidden and protected
Yet I still hurt and bleed

I’m going insane
I feel num
My brain feels sow and swollen
My heart feels weak and cold
My soul feels empty
I don’t want to love you anymore

You killing my senses
