You Still Have Me

(written on the 30th of mar., 2015)


i saw that boy walking home on his own

teardrops was as much as the rainfall that day

i had my coffee looking through the windows

things went black and white like a filmstrip


the other day i saw him doing the same thing

wondering if there was a way to stop this

air which i breathed out blurring my sight

hand reached out to the handle but held back


i wanted to say

‘hey, you’ve missed the sun for days

dark clouds hover over you

see i’m without romance stories

still live a good life

you should know that you still have me’


one time he found a pair of black eyes

staring at him like vultures looking at preys

instead of cowarding away, he took the glance

i got my curtains on and he banged on the door


i wanted to say

‘hey, you’ve missed the sun for days

dark clouds hover over you

see i’m without romance stories

still live a good life

you should know that you still have me’


we could like this

his dad never noticed me

though all the villagers knew

his mama was in the ground

i could be a better wife

that a boy needed in his life


i wanted to say

‘hey, you’ve missed the sun for days

dark clouds hover over you

see i’m without romance stories

still live a good life

you should know that you still have me’
