I Was Alone...Not Lonely Poem by Goodenough Sakhile Dlamini

I was alone, but there was the crowd
The eardrums didn't accept any sound
There was the sound of a crying baby in mother's hands
The guy was shouting 'R5.OO UWU TEN'
But I didn't hear all that
I was in the middle of the city
I was in the middle of nowhere
My eyes were blank, but wasn't aware when the shadow hit me
I thought it was an Angel coming for me
Since I had resign about my life,
After that three words that took both of my girlfriends
In front of my eyes.

I am afraid of death but that day I was afraid of life without them
I haven't committed suicide yet that why I am alive
That shadow was heavy my eyes just open suddenly
In front of me there was a real Angel,
My heart was pretty sure I was going to heaven
But my hands didn't believe when they felt the soft
Hands like cat.
But I felt bad when my eardrums accept the sound,
I heard the crowd was shouting at me
''Wenzani ufuna ukufa? Hey lesi bhanxa masibethwe ngoku'
Ja I was walking in the center of the street but I didn't know
She grab me when the car almost hit me I was saved

Saved by her suddenly, she asked my name, I told her with tears
I felt that thing when our eyes met
But I remember that I must be HIV positive,
That is why I almost die
I find myself in her place having a drink
What I am doing here? I should have been in the funeral?
She was there for me I was scared to tell her the real me
I know I deserve to die but why she saved me?
I told her my story I was I amazed by her heart
That why today I am on my ARVIs, she supported me
She the one, I am the one for her, now I final got trust in my heart
Got love in my soul, I pray for us than ever
I love her, she loves me too
Now I am free, I am me
I was a bad guy I Know who said I don't deserve
a second chance, you can change around...
