Tawona Mzila Ranganawa Poet Light Verse

I Forgot To Love You

I forgot to love you

Tears on your cheeks, creeks on your skin
A heavy heart full of stones of disappointment
Which has been abandoned a longtime ago
I forgot to do the simplest of things
I forgot to love you

You were lacking of my affection 
but I was too blind to see
You furnished me all you had
Your time, soul and everything
You loved me but i forgot to love you back

I went away to distant lands
To pursue my own dreams
Left nothing for you and I took everything with me
Lacked respect for what we had
Shared my bed with others
I forgot to love you

I forgot to, to carry the moon for you
Stopped listening to the music we shared
Forgot to laugh at your silly jokes
I did not see you were unhappy
Too focused on myself
I forgot to love you and now i stand-alone as you walk away with another
