Shattered by Nkulie

Where did it all go?
The joy,ecstasy and zeal of writing?
Rarely spent a second typing,
As the words were gushing out of my mind.
Memories & fantasies;
Experiences & symphonies...
You name it.

It all made stanzas and sentences that made me feel confident.
What happened?
To the poetic girl with an unforgettable smile.
A phenomenal smell.
With rabbit teeth that made her cute and innocent.
The prettiest girl who never settled for less and never a cent. Yes,school smart and a genius;
Yet not street smart and sagacious.

Was she lonely?
Thought she was just acting holy!
Smiling to the whole world like she's happy,
When it was all a facade to hide the lonely Emily.
Broken hearted;
Scarred yet golden.
Every good morning turned into a night mourning.
Slowly draining and wasting,
She always pulled it together for those split seconds,
Just so the people can see that Emily is ambitious.

Where have you been lady?
Lady in black during the night and white during the day;
Filled with joy and cracking with laughter when the Sun's up,
And a pillow soaked in tears during the night time nap.
Eyes filled with pain and sorrow during the meet and greet of all times. However,no one would tell and ask bout all the tear-stained cheeks.

I'm shattered.
However, I don't want the past
To reflect on what I've planned.
Let it stay behind;
So I'll live my life,
In my lonely hive.
