My love

Location

South Africa

You have carried me on days when the light seemed too far away.
On days when darkness was my only friend
Where the only melodies I heard was the patter of tears falling down my face.
You'd stare at me, always telling me to keep the lights out because you couldn't survive in bright spaces.
You were my friend through the late nights,
The one who always seemed to be right there when everything fell apart.
You'd hold my hand and give your best advice :
Start with your legs, no one will notice,
Wear longer shirts it will hide the marks...
I Carried you with me for so long
You were always the loudest.
No matter how far I'd travel into the light
I'd always come across a cross road and you would smile steadily with patience and hope.
And just like that I'd fall back in love with you
Because you never leave.
My love
I still see you,
I'm tempted to go back
Because no matter how lost I seemed to the world
You were the only reason I could sleep.
You didn't take the pain away but you made it okay.
I often look for blades just to be closer to you
I don't want to
But you're the loudest.
My love
I know you're waiting...
