Love birds

Love birds Once... Or maybe just a few times I lied About not loving you Like at 3a.m this morning When I your memories Were flowing, Just beneath my skin And every single participants me Could still feel you.... I regret all all of those times I said "I love you" But you never really Had the audacity to say it back As often as I did.... So learned to lie As often as I lay upon my back And watch you love me ... Less and less... Every time.... -Thembekile kilay deh'poet tsaoane
