Letter to My Lost Love

Reminiscing about the moments we shared
If only I could turn back the hands of time
Stop the tables from turning
I would make it alright
And call you mine all night

The scars I left on you they see
But the love I still have for you I only see
You told me how much you loved me
But my heart was used to being broken
Picking up the pieces was your motive
Unknowingly I scattered the pieces
But little did I know I was pushing you away

You promised we would make it against all odds
Calling it old fashioned, I refused to take the oaths
You swore to prove your love for me in all ways
Catching a grenade for me you assured
I repeatedly said, "Stop being a musician you're not Bruno Mars"
But you said you'd take our love to another planet; your dream was Mars
I would look at you and gnash

It's true, you do not know what you have till it's gone
All those nights you cried yourself to bed
I wish I could be your pillow
All those lonely nights you spent
I wish I could take them back
To tell you how much I truly loved you within
Deep within i could make wishes for us
No one can believe, but the stars heard them all

I wish you could come back to me
I know all I did was being mean
My heart wasn't ready for true love
I promise to build a bridge from my heart to yours
You must be weak with all the torture I gave
But my love for you is too strong
I will be the one to cross over
I know this is hard for you
You might tell me to go to hell with my letter
But I will still send if from there

My lost love come back to me

I am from the Warm Heart of Africa (Malawi). A holder of a Bachelor's degree in Journalism obtained at Blantyre International University. I am passionate about joining the Army and I am the World's future Air Force Soldier.

I believe in equal opportunities among men and women. We have a long way to go to achieve this but I will make sure I see the day when gender won't define any human so I will fight for gender equality.

I love expressing my feelings on a paper because it relieves my pain.

Say No to Rape

Here in Malawi, we have some traditional beliefs that violate women's rights. It is really okay to respect beliefs we have in our societies, but not all traditions are meant to be followed. How can it be a tradition for girls to be made to have sex with a paid sex worker known as a "Hyena" once they reach puberty?

When Character Overrules Virginity, Virginity Has An Expiration Date.

Unknowingly like little boy Isaac going to be sacrificed, I deafly followed their words
Little did I know I would one day be at my worst
Where I’d feel nothing but pain through my chest
Lost in my character I changed men like clothes…
