I thought I would live forever, like Newton or Shakespeare- <br />Until you were gone I realized you were my life’s elixir, <br />I tore your heart to pieces yet it is mine that is torn- <br />Numbed, suffocated, mutilated, annihilated- <br />The petals to my heart do not bloom anymore, <br />I turn back the hands of time on my watch- <br />Earth did not turn back for me, <br />All women turn right when I turn left, <br />Whatever they see cannot be less than the truth, <br />No one believes I have changed-I cried love too many times, <br />I am between history and forgotten, dust and ash- <br />I am dead-not officially; death is taking too long to pick me up.<br /><br />Isunge Mwangase<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/limbo-13/
