Ebrahim Gaibe
You know how cartoons run off the edge of a cliff,
And hover a second before they descend?
Well, I’ve been hovering for a long time now,
Waiting for the day when I’d break and fall to my end.
I haven’t smiled for quite some time now,
No laughter or happiness travels my way.
I sit alone and cry songs of loneliness and sorrow
And patiently await a better day.
What we had was Yin and Yang.
A love that was honest and true as Abe.
In heat and despair you took your life,
And selfishly left me alone, my darling Ebrahim Gaibe.
