Cry you a river

Cry you a river

A Poem by Benedict Mdluli
"

Just a piece after a long time not writing anything I felt like throwing something out there.

"

       Cry you a river



      

                            My heart is still in shambles since the day you walked away,

                The pain is as sharp as needles; as a spear penetrating through the rib cages.

                           The scars on the outside of the heart became visible to the world.

          I was left shattered and hurt, but you walked away I cried for you day and night

   But the pain wasn’t leasable as property I would have shared the burden with someone else.

                                     The picture of you walking away was not erasable.

               Till this day when I remember the day it’s like someone is

                                                       Placing needles all over my

                               Heart.

 

                                  I made you my whole world but to you I was a drop in the sea,

      You were my abundance promised

   And overflowing, but to you I was the bread for many, In the midst of all the challenges I chose to

                                        Love and cherish you and you never saw to appreciate it.

 

    All you needed you got, All I had I lost.

                                            My dignity waived to my enemies.

       They

                                           Danced and drank on my sorrows.

                     You rejoiced when you heard I was down and showed no remorse

                You were the demonic angel as you appeared as a sheep while a hyena.

                     Goodbye my friend,

                                They never last long like you and their memory too.

                            Even to me,

                                     Your memory lasted till the day I cried you a river.
