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
