Destiny Intertwined

Damian Semwayo

“He left us, how could he depart?
Why make such a scene, tearing us apart?
He brought shame and disgrace, I confess.
His life’s a mess, leaving us distressed.”

“But I loved him, with all my heart!
And still, I love him, though we’re apart!”
Whimpering softly, like a wounded hound,
Emotion pouring out, in tears it’s found.

“He made me feel safe, amidst the storm.
Protected my spirit, so tender and warm.
We had something pure, where did it derail?
When did our love begin to fail?
Our hearts once entwined, beating so strong,
Where did it all go wrong?”

“Love has two sides, my dear, you see.
The dazzling lights, the colors so free,
But beneath the surface, hidden from view,
Lies a depth of darkness, where hearts turn blue.
Love exacts a toll, a price you must pay,
Hearts once warm can turn icy, they say.
Pockets run dry, love’s currency dear,
A toll on the soul, crystal clear.”

“I’m unable to mend, I’m shattered inside,
He holds me down, on my knees I reside.
Begging for a drop of compassion to show,
But love’s too costly, I cannot afford the woe.
What did I do to deserve this fate?
I’ve sought forgiveness, at heaven’s gate.
Hasn’t the Lord cleansed my sins of the past?
Destiny intervened, our love couldn’t last.”

“Relax, my friend, though burdened with guilt,
Remember, the weight of blame must be split.”
