Tell My Love Poem by Thabitha Marakalala

Tell my love

I know you not him
By the way you look at me
I know you not him
By the way you touch me
I can see through your eyes
I can see through all your disguise
I know you just passing your time
I know you can never be mine

When you out there tell my love
Tell him you saw me drowning in my tears
And that I will fight to breath till he appears
Tell him even if it takes me a thousand years
I will never lay my head on my fears
I will search for him even if my life's last hours nears

When you see my love
Tell him I have searched for him in the cold dark nights
With the moon my only guidance
Tell him about how it reads through my silence
And how it waters me with patience
Tell him I have combed through all the hideouts
Even the muddy pool behind the still waters
Tell him am looking for him

Tell my love
About the bruises on my feet
How I crossed the roughest winds and blazing heat
Tell him about the cold days and nights I stood where the brook and rivers meet
Hoping from a lonely distance I would hear his greet
Tell my man I still search for his face across the street
I know il find him and some day I will be complete

Tell my love
I carry the sweetest love
But love never loved me back
Tell him I have the softest heart
But it keep falling in wrong arms
Yes it's all worn out but still beats for him
You can tell him you saw my wounds
Being licked by hungry hounds
Tell him I been searching for him
In places that love doesn't exist
Tell my love regardless of all the pain
Am still in search for him

Tell my love
You saw me crossing rising waters
And am still to cross a thousand borders
Just to bear him beautilf son and daughters
Tell him even if time comes to a stand still
My soul will still search for his
Tell my love
I still believe in fairytale endings
Tell him with tear flooding down my face
And a worn out heart beating within in my ribcage
I am looking for him
Tell my love to look for me too....
