Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!

Don't Speak To Me


Don't speak to me of love
only when your body is stiff with need
or say "it's true" when your eyes tell me you lie.


How dare you speak of giving
when you have taken all and depleted me
or tell me what you long for
when you've never waited for anything.


Don't say I'm sorry
when pain was your intention
or speak of forever
when today ends all too soon.


The time for your words
have come to an end
Don't speak to me ever again.
