Your Love Poem by Mishack O Madubandlela

Your Love

Rating: 5.0


Such an embrace
It was fun to run this race
Though I'd want to live some more on my own,
but I also want to be with you
I want to stay cuddled up in your cold arms
I admit, I'm only human
normally, I'd catch a cold
but now, I want you to be with me for I will no longer grow
old

How I wish asking for you to come by was harder
I want you to hug me harder
asking for you is easy and you are quick to respond
I can feel your cold embrace
I can feel your breeze from afar

I know you smell my fear of how I love you but afraid of you
that makes me afraid
I long to be on the other side with you
ironic how people are terrified of you, my love
In this summer heat, I'd do a lot better with your cold love
embracing each part of my body
I love with a love far greater than love

I know I am weird and strange
maybe a bit more now that I know you're coming
come! Oh come! Beautiful death
I have waited for your loving cold embrace forever
Love me
Hug me
I want to come with you to the DꙘRK side

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is a poem written in a dark time when I felt like death was the only and most viable solution to my life. A time when I was afraid that if I continue living, I'll keep suffering. And I no longer want to suffer. So, it was my call upon death to take its toll. And finally lay me to rest with the much love it has as it never disappoints. You call death, you die. If you want to die, you die. Death is always there, lurking around us. So, I was so not ok and felt like dying would be much better and an easier way to leave this world and its miseries.
