THE ARRANGEMENT

~~
TWENTY FIVE

I've heard of a saying, silence is also an answer.
His silence. He is looking at me as if I committed the most hideous crime. I can tell he believes that I, Snazo Ngcobo, can actually take drugs. All of me?
I feel my heart slowly sinking, hurting in a way I never imagined.
This man, he has been so perfect that I never thought a side that is so distasteful in my mouth exists.

I try to speak but my lips tremble
I'm boiling up instantly in the magnitude of emotions. Anger, sadness, heartbreak and pile of others I can't describe
