MY AMELIA

Today some years back,
I fell in love with a woman,
A special woman, my Amelia,
The woman who made me smile,
Who wiped my tears like mama,
Who gave me everything she had,
The woman of my pathetic life,
The woman, who became my lifeline.

I fell in love with this woman,
I didn’t even know I had fallen,
Hell I still don’t know how I did,
But I did fall in love with her,
And for the first time in years I smiled,
The kind that reached my eyes,
The kind that was genuine,
The smile that she was addicted to.

She was special, very special,
Because that’s how I saw her,
Noticed her ever free spirits,
Her desires to keep everyone smiling,
In a world where nobody cared,
Where demons were companions,
And angels were fired up,
A world where I, was no one.

In this world, this society,
A society that was flushed,
Where blessings married curses,
And curses destroyed blessings,
A world where nobody mattered,
Where pockets spoke more than mouths,
Where virtues rambled for morality,
Here, where mortality carried the day.

I don’t know who found who,
Maybe I did her or she did me,
But that never really mattered,
And in this house, the home we made,
In a house completely female,
She was my female or maybe I was,
But that never really mattered,
Because she was always mine.

Life sometimes doesn’t just feed lemons,
There’s always a drink beside it,
Just like my Amelia and I,
Playing inseparables with destiny,
Just two lemons for a lemonade,
Just like the first round of today,
Like her first bout of laughter,
Just like every mother and daughter.
