You Left Me
By: Lesedi Moyo
15 March 2013
To the one I love(d)...
Always a part of me.
It pains me to write you this letter but sadly, I have to.
Allow me to elaborate on what happened after you decided to peacefully depart.
Smooth breeze gently kissed my cheeks as I sat there in solitude. Face covered with a black veil, I mourned for you.
My thoughts were occupied by a hoax you'd play on people. I just couldn't bring myself to chant along these lame lamenting lyrics.
Every time I tried to, my heart would beat slower and let tears translate what my tormented, tortured, tranquil soul felt.
You left me.
Why did you?
Like a snake peeling off its skin, you and I were to be forever to be apart.
As much as I didn't like the sound of my own heart's shutter, I knew I had to let you go.
The sad and yet strange thing is, I no longer feel the loss.
I guess I left you too...
Written by a 17 year old me to a 10 year old me.
Always a part of me.

Devotion is a Death Sentence
By: Simbongile Skiti

My love for you blossoms like
a primrose in the spring
with so many blissful memories to cherish
the love I felt for you was just
a stain that vanished
You took my pride away from me
you used me to satisfy your needs
I was blinded by your love
I sold myself, comforted you like a glove
Unfortunately I didn't know who I was
living with a stranger who fed me with lies
I had abandoned my dreams
You made me dig my own grave
pushed me into a cave
now I'm living in hell like a slave
I've got to let you know
that I was born alone
I promise not to love again
I've got to let you go!
Remorseless Men

DO NOT COMPREHEND WHY WOMEN BECOME VICTIMS OF MEN
GONE ARE THE DAYS WHERE GIRLS SAW BOYS AS THEIR BROTHERS
WHERE BOYS SAW GIRLS AS THEIR SISTERS
GONE ARE THE DAYS WHERE WOMEN SAW MEN AS SHIELDS THAT CAN PROTECT THEM FROM EVERYTHING
MEN WERE NOT ABUSERS
WOMEN WERE NOT VICTIMS OF ABUSE NOR RAPE
NOWADAYS IT HAS ALL CHANGED
GIRLS ARE SCARED OF BOYS
WOMEN FEEL UNPROTECTED AROUND MEN
WHY ARE MEN SO UNRELENTING....REMORSELESS
WHAT DID WOMEN DO TO GET PUNISHED THIS WAY
I DO NOT COMPREHEND.
NOWADAYS WOMEN, GIRLS, AND BOYS ARE ABUSED, RAPED, MURDERED, AND KILLED
MEN ARE HAWKERS OF WOMEN
WHY?
YOU DO NOT HAVE A REASON OF DOING SO
UNRELENTING REMORSELESS MEN DESERVE TO BE PUNISHED OR PUT AWAY.
