Broken Future Poem by Tebogo Molefe

he turned and asked the question
what are you thinking about
there she was silently moving like the wind but
thinking of a storm
her calmness scared him
her quiet face seemed bitter
but she laid there pretending to see the future

the future of a broken man
whose words was just like empty cans
just like her heart her patience was running out of beats
her love was becoming a pond
with nothing but her dignity at her fist
she took her things and left
she looked at the broken future ahead
and smiled because of the lessons she learned
she knew this was just a breeze through the storm
broken future
