You Escaped My Dreams

Where are you now Why have you escaped my dreams You’ve been gone awhile and I missed you so I visited our place every night I scouted every corner I stood by and waited out in hope you’d come I did double rounds just to be sure I didn’t miss any section that you might be awaiting me there Yet every night I come by an open empty space greets me melancholy I thought about calling you but what number should I dial I thought about writing you a letter but what address should I send to Then I thought maybe there’s a way I’m going to ask God to deliver my message to you Please God would you deliver my message to my mama chi Here it is: Will you come visit me tonight for I long to know you’re okay Will you come visit me tonight because I miss you so Will you come visit me tonight because I need you so Mama Chi will you come visit me tonight because you miss me too Your voice Your touch Your smile Your love Your everything I miss it all but you escaped my dreams Akkina Missing my great granny who was always so kind, gentle, and most caring...
