Broken Up Poem by Tumisang Ramarea

Broken Up



The fraudalent smile my face
Wears without fear
Temporarily erase
The tears

With the deadliness of
A hurricane
And the intensity of a TB cough
With heart breaking pain

I never
Thought it would come
To this. Forever
Is as short as an ant arm

It is for the best
So it's said
Yet tough like life ending guest
So sad
