"niaga evol ot diarfa si ehS” By: Nikoli T. Burgher (Snr)

Read the title from right to left.
I see that smile on your face as it connects.
Afraid to love again, she is.
She is, afraid to love again.

Everybody knows a mother, I know I do.
Everybody knows a sister, isn’t this true?
Everybody knows a daughter or has a few.
Everybody knows an aunt and a friend.
Who is afraid to love again.

Beautiful she is, yes pretty on fleek.
Brightness lives in her eyes, and white on her teeth.
Shape is flawless, sexiness complete.
But men after men, bring tears after tears. No matter what she does, not one she could keep.

She gave and gave, her all she gave.
Repeatedly broken, but still stayed brave.
Now buried alive, her heart lives in the coldest, darkest grave.
She is like a lone ship, in the storm struggling between dangerous waves.
She is so tired of having a new person every month calling her babes.


Her soul disturbed and mind confused.
So many times, by S and E and all her X’s she has been abused.
Sweet talks and great gifts made her gave her prize as a gift then she was refused.
Love for her was only felt when the candle was scented, sweat ran and his boat cruised.

Now she makes ice look hot, she is forever frozen.
By searching for love she found a life, she would have never chosen
Her heart is locked and celibacy vows taken. So, nothing else will be open.
It took her three Harrys, three Pauls, one Nick and seven DICKS to be awoken.
I know the smarts, will find the 4th line of the 5th paragraph fun but I’m not joking.
Father forgive me for all the hearts that I have broken.
Bless their souls so they too can be forgiven.
