Sthandwa

Sthandwa Sthandwa sthandwa I scrawled her name a hundred hundred times Carved it onto every Inch of my heart Painted it across the canvas of my mind Sthandwa Sthandwa sthandwa A constellation in the dark abyss My guiding light So far away Yet, like a sun Warms my heart Sthandwa Each day is agony Away from you Life loses all hope and flounders I suffer in a cage Waiting for you to rescue Sthandwa, you’re re all I think of The world is a maelstrom of incoherence But your voice is the eye of the storm Calming and saving me You are my true salvation Sthandwa I’d always be lost without you East is West and North is south Up is down, and in is out I stand here spinning on my axis Once more, waiting for your hands to steady me Sthandwa I’ve called your name a thousand times Whispered it in my sleep And lived it in every breath Sthandwa… “If you were a tear in my eye, I would never cry, for fear of losing you”
