I tempted you
made you feel uncomfortable
laughed at your nakedness
but remember me
I laughed with you
but turned into a snake
in an instant
I broke your heart
and mended it again
Don't give up on me
but just remember me
Because there will be a time
when I'll change your life
like you changed mine.
-Elethu Nkala
Wonderful work here, Elethu! Your writer's voice is compelling; the "remember me" refrain lulls in the background, as you allow the story's details to emerge in the spaces in between. Fantastic.
