Numb can never be associated with pain
Its prick is always ready to devour
The innocent are its daily prey
Pain is not for the fainthearted
Heck! its not for anyone at all
Yet it loves each & every one of us


When your ducks seems to finally get into rows
It pounces on your heart, licking old wounds
Resurfacing old scars with new paint
Old wine skins traded for new wine at all costs


With no warning
It comes as fragile as premedicated death
As silent as the sting of suicide upon us
Unbelievable yet true to the core
Ready to silence our voices
Ready to roar and be heard


Pain is life's mantra


Never too happy nor too sad
Always involuntary and sharp
Always skin deep and shallow corners
Never full


Forever on stand by
Pain knows not the meaning of numbness
Nor the subtle yet gentle nature of love
Selfish and self-centered it always remains
Fulfilling its wildest dreams while breaking our hearts into mosaic sized pieces


Pain is our eternal companion
Sipping tea on the fence of love, hate and/or both
Pain knows our address
Hell! It lives on our shores
Killing endorphins as soon as they show their eyes
Pricking away at happiness as fast as Diesel stealing cars


Turning silly laughs into horrid tears of agony
Slipping through fingers like oil from fried fish
Skiing through our lives like ice on a hot day
We never summon you but you love us
We never call you but you are always home
We loathe your sting
You love us whole
Catch the irony


You are the epitome of our wildest dreams come true
The essence of Nada, Prada and yada yada
The unpredictable source of all things predictable
The essence of the adrenaline life sucks to render victorious


You are the starring of our lives
The main man with no intent of letting either of us go


You are anything but disloyal
Faithful to the sun's core
I take off my hat to you
A young bow would ruin your bitter swing
I will leave you to it


Numbness has never been a part of your vocabulary


You are a special breed all on your own
Saluting you would raise your ego
Hence we pray your sting away
Rejoice when you depart


Never take anything for granted
We live lives built on solid love
We know you and we will never let you in
The scent of your perfume will always linger on our front lapas but never will we allow you to dine with us


Love thine neighbour, laugh your ass of, do what you will


Life is too short and too unpredictable to be anything but you.


Bye pain


Spreading all of me

Sore

Sore hearts never get to fill the void of love
Broken hearts never see the light beyond the tunnel
Torn hearts never see the light of day


Drained hearts never live with the humans
Absent hearts are always loved
Loving hearts never receive half the love they give out


Worn out hearts always love the most
Tired hearts never cease to revive others
Mine is entangled in all of the above


Tired, bruised, burnt and in pieces yet it still wants to love again. Feel again and above all share all the love it has never been given the chance to share

Crimson eyes know my name

Pain resides on the outskirts of my heart but it all stops now. It all stops today

I will wait for him and he will find me whole and content

With all my love
Phoenix 

What did I say about my heart betraying me? Well, here goes

You should have seen how his stature caught my eye


His snoody (scarf) hugged his neck in places I wish my hands were hung
His blue and torn dungaree sat so perfect on him I wanted to trade mine for his
I never got to smell his scent but he oozes humbleness


You should have seen how selfishly white and perfectly lined his teeth are
Each laughter he sprung out of his mouth made his eyes sparkle more


You should have seen his eyes and how they do not know how handsome he is
You should have seen his red and white stripped socks from his mom


His face beamed with love for her each time he mentioned her
You should have seen his pure brown eyes stare into mine each time I stared at him for too long
You should have seen how flawless our conversations about heartache were
You should have listened to the ballad melodies that rang from each chair as we packed them away in utter silence


You should have seen how suave and chic his outfit was
You should have seen his lips kiss my breathe with his DM comment


You should have seen my face light up as I reminded myself to pay attention
You should have seen my heart sink as soon as I learnt that I was older


You should have seen me cry my eyes out on the toilet mat before hitting the sack
You should have seen me listening to India Arie's Good mourning as I tell you about my Chris-perience


You should have felt the peace that filled my heart as soon as I accepted life to be rude regarding this point of my life
You should have held me in your arms as soon as you read my heart's portion
You should have but instead you chose to read this post


You should hala at me on Twitter @Carone91 so that I can show you what you should do to be forgiven

With all my love

Unbreak her heart

The heart: The one emotion her heart refuses to forget is that of pain. Do you know what she is talking about? No, neh? Let her explain:
The pain sits just below her heart and it feels like an inferno has been lit there, salt, pepper and fuming aspects are added to it

The worst part is that she never saw it coming. She has always dated people that she genuinely had feelings for and loved, the worst part is being heartbroken by someone who you never thought would break your heart.

It is the hardest thing to get over. She has ended relationships because she felt that she could not take certain traits anymore, does that make her a bad person?


She left because she felt like a trophy girlfriend, she left because it became clear as soon as she said "I love you too" that sex is the only thing wanted by him. The hardest thing to be as a girl is truthful to a guy, because the minute you mention the no sex aspect of life where you are, they can't take it. She is yet to meet a man who will say sex is not the reason he wants to get with her. Is that what love is? Sex?

She thinks not, and for that reason she is yet to be found by a man who understands where she is coming from. While we are on the sex topic, why does it seem to her that "I love you" is the supposed key to having sex?


She cannot understand it. She once met a guy who said he would like to be in a relationship with her without sex. She was beyond shocked by hearing a guy utter such words, because half the time they don't have these words in their vocab.  She was not ready for a relationship of which she told him, and guess what he told her?


He told her that she did not want to date him because he did not make sexual advances at her. Can you perhaps see the irony here?
She is sure that you are sitting there wondering why she is out here writing such right? Its simple, she is tired of being seen as a piece of meat that can be devoured once it has reiterated the three little words: I love you.


She is tired of settling for men who do not open the door for her. Men who do not know what please, thank you and may I mean. She is sick and tired of being treated like a priced possession because she is of the opposite sex. Could we perhaps have this conversation?


The saddest part about this article is that her heart never ceases to betray her by loving the opposite sex. In as much as she tries to give the best and most frustrating years of her life to herself, there is always that guy out there who will give her one look and make her feel alive. That one guy whose smile melts her heart like candle on a willing wax stand. That one dark guy whose smile ignites the power of the phoenix in her to rise. Kudos to the guy and may he know how to treat women. She prays to be blessed with boys, she will first and foremost teach them gore (that) women are first and foremost: human. She will then teach her girls that men are human beings who are not superior to them. She will teach her kids to respect others as they want to be respected. Above all they will see how Ubuntu is a philosophy of life from how she lives her life.


To all the bad boys out there who think it's okay to lie to women and date a million of them at a time: your day is coming. To all the bad girls who treat men like dirt: qaphela (watch out).
And to the rest of us who do not know if we are good, bad or both: find out and stick with the bit that makes us better.


She can't tell you how to mend a broken heart but the one thing she does for sure is cry her eyes out.

You should come and see the pillows at her house in the living room, the poor little things are as flat as pancakes. She holds them tight, squeezes hard and cries.

The other method she uses to vent is what you are reading now, she types it all out and leaves all the pain there.

Talk to your girlfriends, best friends and boyfriends. Cry your eyes out, pray if you have to. All she asks of you is that you deal with the emotion, feel the pain, smell it, touch it, and deal with it, so as to not carry baggage going forward. Take your time to heal until your heart decides to betray you again.

A relationship should be about learning each other's traits and behaviours and deciding if you want to love them unconditionally or not. She talks too much but these are solely her opinions on this love life journey

With all her love
She
