Love Pain Poem by phathizwe Bradley Sono

She never left my side
She loved me with pride
Put me into her ride
In a cruise we went side by side

No matter how hard I try
I still manage to make her cry
I wish I could disappear or die
It is hard to say good bye
But maybe that is all it takes
To see her smile again

A huge stone is over my shoulder
My mind is full of nothing
What I hear I cant seem to comprehend
But I cant continue and pretend
I love her deeply
Yet I still hurt her badly

She is almost a perfect soul
The mother of my kids
Yet I take her smile away
Yet I make her cry
I have to let her go
To see her smile again

I want to be free
I want her to be free
I cant imagine my life without her
She cant live without me
Yet each time she is with me
I see the pain I am causing
I see her dying

I cant live like this
I cant love like this
She cant love me like this
She needs to be happy
I am making her sad
I cant bear the pain
Of seeing someone else
Giving her the happiness
That I am failing to give

Can she be patient
Can she let me go
And wait for me to come back
With the happiness she deserves
Is that too much to ask for?
Or she will understand and let me try what I have
For her to be happy and free
No matter the outcome
To me she will always be
The woman of my dreams....
