YOU WALKED AWAY


YOU WALKED AWAY

BY Rebecca Masina

You chose to walk away when I needed you most. You did not even show that you cared or at least pretend you did. You were straight forward with me. I felt like I was used, like you had your own mission with me and that you have completed your mission now you are moving on.
You do know that everything you do will have an effect in your life neh? Even if it is not today or the next day but eventually it will catch up with you. Well that is what we call karma. Only if you knew how much you meant to me. But hey it is your choice after all. No one is allowed to force another person to stay. If you are not happy, you should feel free to move on. Your happiness comes first.

I did a lot for you. I sacrificed my job for you, sold my property for you, I chose you above all of them yet you walked away when I needed you the most. I was left with nothing. My family turned against me, my friends even forgot my name and my existence all because of you. It is not a blame game but I am just letting you know how it hurts inside. When you chose to walk away a huge scar was left on my whole body. Even today it cannot be removed. I was in and out of hospital, not knowing what is wrong with me.
That was the thank you I got for putting you first in my life and leaving all important people who cared and loved me outside. I chose you and forgot them. Today I am blessed and have managed to get my life on track. You hear of my sudden success then out of nowhere you re appear with your endless excuses of apologies and me being me I have to forgive you and pretend that nothing happened just because I love you? For the sake of what we share?

Khohlwa…Forget…Lebala

That is not going to happen this time. Your charms will not work this time. I have learnt a lot from the lesson you gave me.  No one should put a stranger above family.  You chose to walk away in my deepest hurtful days so please keep walking even in my successful days.
