I bleed
My happiness buried 6 feet deep beneath the pain, beyond my reach
6 feet just like your body
Watching your coffin go down in slow motion
As though clinging to the hope that someone might stop it from going down
As though someone might wake you from the dead
I bleed
A part of me got buried with you that day
And yet I still remember you with a heart full of warmth
A movie in my head of all the happy moments
With a stream of tears flowing down my eyes and a smile
I remember how you used to be my alarm in the morning
Making sure that I don’t get to school late
How you would make ends meet
Break the barriers, just so that I have transport money for school
How you would wake up early in the morning to fetch your grant money
Walk past a few shops see shoes and some T-shirts then you’d go “mhmm my granddaughter will love this”
I will continue to remember you with a smile
It may hurt but I’m glad that God spared you the pain of this cruel world
Finally, the beeping pain that came from your wounds has calmed
You are resting, peacefully I hope
