The Girl Who Loved For Real Poem by Anele Potelwa (Unpublished)

Life was ending,
Memories were bending
The light was no longer burning,
And there was no more learning

Each day passed with ignorance
On seconds of minutes was relevance
And the road sloped downwards
Who would have thought of any survival?

Because no one knew about the struggle
She kept it inside and hidden the story
But one thing was never missing
And that were the tears
Running down her chicks every night

Love was still pending
But pain was still spending
Yet a boy knew nothing of her,
His heart kept on suspending
Deliberatly the good love offered by the fragile love
Innocent enought to be genuine

And she cried every night
Not because she was in pain
Not because her heart was broken
And not of the boy being oblivious
But mainly, kindly and sincerely because

She is deprived of an opportunity
To bring lots of joy to him
Lots of happiness,
Lots of smiles,
And live a life of long miles
But dead was the boy's mind
In state he knew nothing of love

That's the girl who laughed
Even when the joke was not funny
That's the girl who laughed
Even at the end of the hunny bunny
That's the girl who loved
The women who loved him
