 Nov 2016 The Ripper
Ntwari
If the night could laugh
It would have the rhythms of your voice,
My favourite lullaby

If the light of an autumn dusk could could see
Its eyes would shine a bister glow
Of the gems that plate your irises

If a fleeting midnight's breeze could speak
It would have your voice
Whispering that same words you love to chime

If only the night could breathe
Perhaps it would be as beautiful as you
A letter for those who need it.
You waited for the storm in my eyes to pass
and wreck someone else’s home for a change
you waited
ever so patiently
until it became a routine chore
but if you had looked up for more than a second
you would have realised that
Winter raised me
**I am the storm.
Don't fall for me
Because you will I promise
And when you do you will love it
You will love me because I am everything you need.
But when I run dry
And I'm of limited supply
You'll wish you never met me
Because loving me is the worst, most painful way to die.

I haven't felt this alone in years
and it's not from the lack of people
Around me
It's from the lack of you

I disappeared with you
My soul left
When yours did
I am
Invisible without
I doubt I'll ever
be seen again

You are
What held me together
When I would
Cry on your lap
you would say things like
"as long as we are together
no one will shatter
your pretty little heart"

because I was your person
And you were mine
forgive me for not
Holding you that night
When your world
Was so shattered
I couldn't see through the glass

Forgive me for
not reminding you
I loved you
when we last talked
I just never knew darling
That to the light
You would walk .
my best friend killed herself. I don't know how to heal, or how to feel okay. or whole.
