Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!

IS IT TRUE?


Is it true?
   Oh please tell me
            It's not!
Let it be a Rumour
   That has no truth
              In it.


Is it true?
   Maybe it's
The jealousy of the attention
That made them
   Tell me
Word by word.


O! Is it really true?
   That it is over
Between us
Why don't you speak?
   Why such
Harshness
              In your eyes!


Oh! No!
   What a fool
I've been.
It's written in your face.
   It is hidden
In your eyes.
              It is true!


It has always
   Been true
But I was too blind
   And was too foolish
To read your mind
And realize
   I meant nothing
              To you.
I was only
              A toy.
