HIV Orphanage


The horror of the screaming truth fills the silent room
Why? Why them?
Why so young? There is no hope
No future
No chance
Will my heart ever recover? I hope not

I won’t forget you, aunty.
I won’t forget your face
I won’t forget your laugh
The way you smiled
The way you showed me true joy
The way you cried as it crippled me to walk away

Will I come back?
I will come back, Aunty
A piece of me will never leave
A piece of my heart is yours forever
