Tales from the block He lay on his deathbed, hope slipping through his eyes At a loss for words but feeling everything inside His lungs collapsing, heart breaking, life escaping Flashbacks eating up his mind, soul shaking Wasn't friends from the bawdyhouse standing by his side Wasn't any peers that he drank down with every night All them lost weekends ain't amounted to nothing But a nurse clinician helping his every function Could barely move, regret only moved him to tears Would his son ever forgive him? That was one of his fears Forget God, he'd loose ends to tie up on Earth How he missed his son's life, graduation and birth For a cigarette pack; so much for being a stereotype Jumped bones and jumped ship and moved on with his life Until death came knocking and apprised him of both His baby mama and his son and how he needed their warmth Kwatonhora, chando chapinda Ndidziisewo kani, ndidziisewo kani Mhai Kwatonhora, chando chapinda Ndidziisewo kani, ndidziisewo kani Mhai He lay on his couch about to pass from the OD Nothing by his side except teaspoons and cold tea Life flashing before his eyes The high cost him a lot; ultimately, his life His heart rhythm accelerating, and his spirit fading Addiction is the Devil and sometimes he misses heaven That's something rehab seemed to forget He ran for the hills, phonebook, and dialed his connect Said, "Take me to heaven" and bought as much as he could He said, "This my last time; I'mma be clean, I'll be good" Both came to pass; he went to heaven for good But before his last breath, his mind elected to brood Over his life choices and what he'd made of himself How a prescription was the only thing to write on his grave Though all he'd ever wanted was some healing and growth We gave him a cold shoulder when all he needed was warmth Kwatonhora, chando chapinda Ndidziisewo kani, ndidziisewo kani Mhai Kwatonhora, chando chapinda Ndidziisewo kani, ndidziisewo kani Mhai I lay in your arms, my head resting on your bosom Talked a blue streak about making it from the bottom And laughed out of court the idea our love would fail Thought all it took was roses and kisses and we'd prevail Woe betide you! Hoping your new man is a phony Pining for karma to cross your path for all the double-crossing As I cry my eyes out, tears filling up my wineglass Drink away your memory, wiping out all of the times past Rest in peace to all them plans we had made Best laid plans won't stand a chance against fate Heart snapped in half in the snap of your finger Carried a torch for us, you only made the light dimmer I broke open my closet, I broke cover for you Let go my emotions, I poured love out for you Till death do us part, thought you believed in the oath How could you be cold-hearted? I just needed your warmth Kwatonhora, chando chapinda Ndidziisewo kani, ndidziisewo kani Mhai Kwatonhora, chando chapinda Ndidziisewo kani, ndidziisewo kani Mhai The last time my heart broke, I hatched a new plan to build a new latch for the door So that the stampeding demons of the past would not scatter the shards that keep getting sharper and smaller with each entry. I used to be able to cup the wreckage in one palm. Back then one knew that tape or gum would suffice, so we kept change for lost off-chances, over-the-counter jinx fixes for the chipped teeth of a heart that bit more chunk than it could chew. Over the years, as reruns with no prenups took more blood from each bleed, What little mess one could mop up with the edge of a t-shirt soon became hurts too brittle for spittle to bring its lips back into harmony, Like envelopes that now know sticking to hope is itself vanity. Now we use high-powered tools for this fool's land. Where hearts mend through shock therapy of refusing love's invitation altogether. The last time my heart broke, by Zomkhonto Gabadela
