BROKEN PIECESđź’” FROM EDDIE (For LettersToHer)

"Let's talk about the unhealthy attachments of clinging to someone who has brought misery to us;

It may be too embarrassing to talk about and too much to bare,

But never refuse to face the trauma it has brought to you"


Dearest Lusitania;

This is the first and probably the last letter I am writing to you.

I'm writing with my heart torn, I am bleeding.

I have had people asking me "why I attach myself to moments that don't really belong?"

And I read somewhere that said;

"Every single pain is a lesson."

I believed that indeed it is,

Coz;

where you feel vulnerable-you are brave,

Where you feel puniness you are strong.

Someone said;

"One of the kindest things you can do for others is to show your effort."

But here I am, on the verge of madness, I am breaking apart; I wish someone would hold my hand and save me from the cold

to tell me I'll be okay.


I begged you to "hold me one more time, to tell me you loved me and be there" but you laughed out to my face.


I wonder how your heart is, have you found the love of your life yet?

do you ever remember me?

do I still make your heart beat out of your chest? Not any more right?


I realized I fall out of love with you

when I looked at our old pictures and couldn't

recollect anything about us.


I still remember the  day you walked away

from everything we built and burned down

everything in flames just because I said "I want my essence to be in pair with someone's intellectuality even in mundane and bizarre circumstances


So, I write to you for I now believe that

everything has come to an end eventually - The love we shared, the promises we made to each other.

And that I have packed up the trauma and have moved on.


With Love, Without Regrets

Eddie

AWAKENING: STORIES UNTOLD, STORIES UNHEARD AND STORIES UNREAD

Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember all the words you like to say behind closed doors. She whispered in my ear “I take you as you are and you will be. I won’t try to change you but I will ride out change with you. I see you and I will never ask you to be less or more.” With words so charming and full of meaning, that’s how she destroyed me. I have been awed and terrified by the experience of being in love to the extent that when it’s love, I’d rather close the book and put it back on the shelf. I do not know how to hate no matter how much I have been wronged. I met Tuseke when I had gone for my usual check-up at the hospital. She was there to visit her grandmother who was gravely ill and on admission. She had asked for directions to get to the elderly female ward, that was just the same way to Doctor Mayepi’s office. My all time go to health practitioner. We walked hand in hand and talked about a few things on science and medicine. She hated being around the hosp...

LOVE LETTER TO TOBI

  Tobi; You are the chapter that I didn’t know it’s words. No matter what takes place, my heart will always choose you. Like a bedtime story book, I will open my chest and read to you all my love. I said; “I want to relearn love in a beautiful way.” and I knew the universe remembered me the day that I met you. You have given oxygen to the parts of me that were suffocated, energy to my broken bones. Your name belongs at the tip of my tongue, I want to speak of you and with you all day long cause there’s a certain kind of magic in your name. I want to wrap my entire body around yours. I want the love that ravishes and envelops me. My hands long to hold you, to lace my fingers all over your lips, to feel the whole of you on my skin, to breath your scent and fill my lungs with your precious cologne.   Kegi….

LETTER TO KAMBANI

  Dearest Kambani, I write this note to you for there is an ache in my ribs. Your sugar-coated deceit made its way through and I felt like all the air left my lungs after I heard and read out all your lies. You said; “I will answer you before you even call to me.” Little did I know you were trying to memorize Jeremiah 33:3 on me. You said; “I will be your peace.” But; Don’t be my peace. I already have that. First, be at peace with yourself and everything around you. I know this note will make you remember the warmth of my touch, how it made your heart race, the joy you claimed I brought to you. I had mixed portions of happiness and loyalty between the things I love and you with a pinch of sugar to align the moments. That’s how much I cared. I am blooming in your absence after being trapped in the cage of your lies and deceit, after you sliced me a dose of pain and moments of tears. Leaving you came hand in hand with finding myself – Broken but Function...

I LIVE

  The phase I was in weeks ago made me question my existence on earth “perhaps, has my time elapsed?” I have escaped a number of accidents for two weeks in a roll. I was on bed rest. Got back on feet and faced yet another accident day after day “I thought my life has come to an end.” “I could barely let food pass my throat; the fear-anxiety and the stress all over it of what becomes of me the next day was too much for my mind” “is death beckoning me?” I asked myself a couple of random questions just to be sure I was on a right spot - safe and sane “I must repent.” “Change my ways, stay sane even in the midst of the rumbling thunder that was ready to take over in my brain.” So I rose up, charged myself up “enough is enough.” My mother had already said a prayer of favor  over me. She blessed me right from the day I was conceived. “You shall not die before your time, you shall live to fulfill  your purpose on earth; No man anywhere will deny you of your dues, the harvest of ...

CHAPTER 28

The truth failed to set me free. I do not know how to speak the truth without it sounding like an apology, But I am learning to share the room with peace. You said these broken pieces won't fit together, But I have out grown those words and will shrink to fit, For courage has greeted me. Drop me here and leave me be, This is just a chapter not my whole story....
