She’s always been my rock,my solace
When my old lady died, I was suicidal, she’s the one who stopped me from dropping outta college
When my baby sister got rapped, she stepped in, assuming the role of my mother
“You gonna be alright Busi.”She cajoled her,cognizant of her constant conundrum infested cringeworthy cries
When Auntie Thandi suffered a stroke while doing a breaststroke and almost choked
Nomasonto was there,giving her Rick Flair hair a stroke
Remember when my little brother was bullied at school and came home bruised,soiled and bloodied?
Who comforted and consoled him? Who confronted Thabang and gave him a hiding so bad he kept hiding that he couldn’t sit straight for weeks on end?
We can’t question God, my Nanna used to say, but right now I’m pissed at Him!!!
If He’s out there somewhere then why is he letting this happen?
Why is Nomasonto lying here unresponsive? Like a vegitable, unable to do anything
My heart of heart bleeds because some bloody cabron spilled her blood just because she wasn’t his blood
A psychopath with no remorse who stabbed her multiple times and made The Times for a senseless crime
Can heaven wait just a little time so I can show her it’s my time to step up this time
Can heaven wait so I can remind her she’s mine and I’m hers,when she shines I shine,she cries I cry, we cry together
Forever mine like I’m one of The O’jays over soulful sounds of Anita O’Day and Billie Holiday
Can please heaven wait, I’m not ready like Telvin Campbell, with her, like Otis Redding I wanna be sittin’ at the dock of the bay
She can’t leave…she just can’t …
Xo…la..ni !!!
