I've Imagined

I've imagined your face a thousand time

liquid brown eyes, dark almond skin

eyelashes thick and always curled

eyebrows in desperate need of grooming.

 

I've imagined how you lived

going about day to day

with a basket on your head

bringing bread and mangoes home to eat.

 

I've imagined what happened to you at so young an age

you met a man and fell in love

he promised you the world and that he'd never leave you

but disappeared when he found out his b*****d was in your belly.

 

I've imagined what you did to cure this crisis

sat around for hours just to think of what to do

because your parents disowned you

and now have left you and me to rot in the streets.

 

I've imagined how hard it must have been

to leave your firstborn in the arms of

a Stranger

trusting they'd keep her safe.

 

I've imagined how our life could have been

I'd be married by now, you'd be a grandmother

I'd visit you everyday

and pray that you are well.

 

But most of all

 

I like to imagine I have your eyes.
