I’m all in, prepared to be a success

Walking guns blazing with my heart

In the open

Gambling with my feelings

Hoping not to lose as ndithatha amaChance

Love these days is like lava, too hot to handle

Exchanging hearts hoping for them

Not to be mishandled

Givin’ into the flow

May it stay gentle

Never too rough like a stormy night at Sea

We all have this love to give

But we can’t stop ourselves from seeing

Things not working out

I want to play the game

Coz’ honestly, I don’t wanna be Alone.

I also want someone to call mine

I’ll learn to always have them on my mind

I’ll force myself to love them hard

I, too, will fall in line

Create this relationship for the socials

Coz’ now I understand that I envy

The perfect relationship

I’m another beast still seeking to see

The beauty of love once more

But I don’t see my happy ending

Tryna keep it together but my heart is

Slowly breaking

Now I’m stuck thinking will I do this

Forever?!

Will I truly ever have her heart?

She only likes the idea of us together

What is important to her is that we

Gather more likes

She finds joy in people putting our relationship

On a pedal stool

But her heart tells the truth,

I’m not the one it would choose

I’m only a temporal lover for the views

Yessie, can we go back to a time ‘Before Love Came to kill Us?’

A time when it was still about us,

Being together

Not concerned about portraying this

Unrealistic image

Of what a perfect relationship is

I’m tired of writing about heart break 💔

I want to write about how I finally

Break down these walls

Purposely, choosing to lean on

Someone else for once
