“Have no faith in the cursed moon That never stays in the same place we see it. Swear by the sun we will wake up next to each other. Your words took my soul before we were born, The time your mother birthed you from her womb. You spoke all the longing I needed to hear. In this or any other heaven. Your wine will be the sweetest to my lips.” LoveTrue LoveSoul MatesRefiloe Mokoena Book:They Raped Me: So, Now What? Source: They Raped Me: So, Now What?
“Places Times Weather All these drew up my mother inside my thoughts, Rain especially. Falling past the trees, each drop throwing replicas into the air. In the same manner my tears would fall from my face. And so I searched for her in my dreams. And watched her walk away from me in real life. The anger in her eyes and her coldness that was who she was, Yet she walked away from me in real life. I knew this in the diminishment of my life.. Because she had been the nourishment of my life.. I don’t know if I was the one who packed my bags and left... Or she was the one who left me. But thoughts of her began fading from my mind and I stopped looking for her in my dreams.” Mother Daughter RelationshipAbondonmentAbondoned Children QuotesAbsent Mothers Book:They Raped Me: So, Now What?

“You are under arrest for the murder of Morah Djo, you have the right to remain silent…’’ one officer proclaimed.
