A Broken Relationship

DRIPPING DECEIT


Dripping deceit
Your eyes don't even waiver
How can I see your smile
when it is veiled behind such a dark secret?
Flowers wither in the vase
I curse the champagne and chocolate
What did you wear, say, DO?
No, I don't want to know.
My mind is in a state of denial.
Denial
Denial
Denial
Have you grown allergic to my cologne?
Do I talk too much/too little?
Does my breath smell?
Am I such a failure as a lover
that you would choose to take recourse in . . .
NO!
My mind is in a state of denial.
Denial . . .Denial . . .Denial

Did the door just close?
Are you coming back?
No!
I should be the one doing the leaving
Damn it . . .
I can't even seem to get that right!

There are not many of us around and we should stick together!

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
