The Hurtful Break-Up Poem by Namile Zamangwane Hlongwane

Now that it over the gap is eight
times wider, always thought your space
in my heart is a no go area but maybe I was right
I am running out of thoughts, it painful, it does not
feel right but it right, peace and love I deserve
It maybe seem easy but NO it not at all
No wonder it took me eight months to let go of what
we built up for eight years, right the foundation was no more
I am looking for another eight years of healing,
not forgetting our fallen tower
As for the three year cute one, he will probably understand
my reasons in eight years time from now, yea eight years
Well eight is suppose to be our lucky number but nope
It symbolizes the hurtful break-up
