Sanele Anele Poet Lyric

I Once Loved

I once loved

Unspoken words to that bleeding heart,
A heart of a young girl who once loved.
That smile everyone was talking about, 
It wasn't a smile,But then tears of a little girl covered by her scars.
I wasn't really smiling, 
That smile was a metaphor,
For the destruction of pain and anger.

They did not tell me it would hurt like this, none warned me.
Love left me broken.
If only I knew"the voice of a little girl".
It hurts to bad, nothing made sense,
Only love did.
And it love still.
I didn't leave because I stopped loving,
I left cause the wounds were sore.

I couldn't find the ballads,
Or read a books dedicates of writing grief.
Brooding about love.
That was a little girl talking, about her scars that made her strong.
Behind her,lies a broken little girl who have to find courage and put the puzzle together someday if not today.
They are talking because they don't know that little girl 
Once loved.

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.

Patrick Nigros April 25, 2018 at 2:57 PM fly to love again, if you can not just run to love again,if you cannot walk to love again, if you cannot, crawl to love again. whatever you do just Love again, it is the right thing to do.

Faraz Ajmal April 14, 2018 at 9:14 AM It s a really beautifully written sad poem, I really enjoyed reading it, perhaps this is life, we should love to live alone coz nobody's gonna live with us forever, all promises are lie and in the end we alome are buried in our own grave, a lost love can destroy a person, both physically and mentally,human mind is really strange, it makes memories, things that will never happen in real life and the realization always hurts. A very warm welcome to ps, good luck and continue to write Sanele Anele May 11, 2018 at 10:00 AM Thanx you rrally appreciate the Love alot??
