We’ve danced too long on this edge
And wiggled on the blunt blade
But a slip ‘twixt the cup and the lip
And the bleeding runs way too deep
It’s sad I can’t make you laugh again
Nor hug you, to take away the pain
It’s okay if you don’t want to see me
But I’m your friend and always will be
So, if nights ever get scary and long
And eerie shadows chant fearful songs
And if the rain cannot hide your tears
Do call me, I’ll calm your every fear
I’ll hold your hands and walk with you
Until your soul find peace and joy anew
My name is Saddam Ninhor. I’m a Nigerian, a lover of soul, country and pop music and poetry. I dabble when I can. I believe poetry is the best form of expression because a line can kindle a million thoughts and emotions.
