Izintombi Zamambo Poet Verse

Conflicted

"Every struggle in my life has been a lesson and made me stronger" 
Quote by_ Constance La France 

I wish my smile could drown your thoughts of attempting to kill me. 
For my laugh to awaken your desires to pursue me, as opposed to seeking advice from past flames to put me out. 
I needed you to come back to me.
See me in new ways. 
Love me with a healed heart, saved from past pain. 
I was hoping you've changed. 
Ready to upgrade your old habits with thought processed intent. 
Here I am thinking you'd really want us to be. You and me, finally.
Yet, you've built problems anew,
situations I can't ignore.
mishaps or mistakes blinding the truth,
you have always been this rude.
I've kept another version of you,
and yet, I'm the one who's confused...
