Broken And Used Poem by Nonhlanhla Kumalo

Never did I imagine that I'd see this
in life
Someone stealing your heart and chowing
it with a folk and a knife

The idea might sound impossible and unreal
but it's true
I was blinded and I thought he felt the same
way too

But now all the happy days are over and
I am sitting here feeling so helpless
I struggle to understand how one can
be so heartless

The same person who once held my hand
and promised me forever
Is now pretending that all those moments
that we shared never exists whatsoever

I know that by now I should have healed but
letting go just sounds so insane
But this is reality and I guess I can't run away
from all this pain

I am wrecked, damaged and dead on
the inside
But I'm glad this whole experience has given
me an insight

Of what happens when one falls with only one
eye open
I can't think of anything, I am
broken.
