Wicked heart

by Siviwe Siretshe   Jul 2, 2012


My wicked heart attacked me
She sucked my energy
And made me feel worthless
I was crying out like a woman in labour
I was in pain and agony
And I gave birth to nothing
But a poor and helpless son
Lord, make me whole again

My heart attacked me like a winter storm
She led me to hell
And made my life miserable
I begged for forgiveness
But gave me a punishment

My heart attacked me like a drought in a dry land
When I spoke of peace
My heart was for war
She paid me back evil for good
She paid me hatred for love
I am nothing but skin and bones
My life is like evening shadows
I am sinking in deep mud
Solid ground is a distance away like the sun

I have given up my pride
I have turned away from my arrogance
But my heart is quiet within me
She killed me a silent death
