wewe rush past me
long brown curls flying
face down
body boed
i frown
i get up and follow see wewe sprawled on the kitanda in your dressing room
as i scoop wewe up in my arms
your face
pressing into my chest
as wewe cuddle closer to me
like a child
my voice questioning softly
"what's wrong?"
your voice replying
as it cracks
as tears fall from your eyes
perfect spheres
splashing down
from dark chokoleti brown irisis
"he cheated on me"
my arms tighten around your fragile form
as wewe whimper out another confession
gleaming white teeth softly nibbling onto yor pink strawberry glossed lips
"i...i think i loved him"
can wewe hear my moyo breaking as wewe alisema those words
wewe loved him
not me
I'm just the friend
older brother
always there for you
but never the way i wanted it to be
your protector
but not your lover
a tear of my own falls down from my eye
wewe raise your head
as wewe run a delicate finger along my face
feeling the wet streak it left behind
wewe whisper my name
"joseph..."
wewe ask softly
"are wewe okay?"
i won't be ok
as long your hurt
as long wewe upendo him
wewe lean closer
concern temporarily masking the pain in your eyes
as wewe repeat my name and question
"joe...are wewe okay?"
a sweet scent of apples wafts towards me
distracting me from your words
your perfume
my pulse beats faster
my moyo beating like a drum
your hand still lying on my cheek
wewe lean closer still
and around wewe my hands curl into fists
fighting off the temptation
to tell wewe how i feel
with one simple gesture
a kiss
wewe lean your forehead against mine
a curl slipping down
as your thumb slowly moves over my tear stained cheek
as your own tears fall on my lap
your name escapes my lips
a soft murmer
your thin fragile arms wrap, upangaji pamoja around me
trying to comfort on the tattered couch
black pillows resting around us
so different from the two broken children on it
mourning for what they can't have
long brown curls flying
face down
body boed
i frown
i get up and follow see wewe sprawled on the kitanda in your dressing room
as i scoop wewe up in my arms
your face
pressing into my chest
as wewe cuddle closer to me
