Ignorance

Understanding court me, be intimate with me, Tell me sweet something, and play with my emotion's. Penetrate my thought's that they may conceive, giving birth to something greater that's not naive. Lock my ignorance away, let it feel the helplessness of not having sight; Let it be chained, and fed only the silence having no love, no warmth; Take away the touch, the kiss of it's true love, Force it to sign the divorce papers and let reality hit, there's no one there to drive the cold away. Are you willing to let me fall? To look me straight in the eye as i crawl? We were lover's by chance, I gave myself fully to you and selfishly you drew me, got me addicted to your touch, but as quickly as it came it was gone Because you let ignorance separate us, Nullifying our love affair. Understanding court me again, Tell me sweet anything, Let the defeaning silence shatter, that my ignorance may flee. L. Ngema
