My love, my heart, my home,  Tonight, I sit in silence, alone.  The stars still shine, the moon still glows,  But without you, time moves slow.  Missed calls feels light, cold and wide,  No warmth of you here by my side.  The laughter we share, the touch of your hand,  Are now just echoes in this lonely land.  Machakos holds you for just a while,  But still, I ache to see your smile.  The days feel long, the nights are blue,  Each moment, my love, I long for you.  I miss the way you call my name,  How love’s soft whispers light the flame.  Your voice, your scent, your gentle…

My love for you burns steady, bright, and clear,  A flame that time or distance cannot quell.  Each moment lost without you stokes my fear,  A silent torment words cannot dispel.  I thought my love alone could bring you back,  That effort might restore what we once shared.  But now I see the fault was in my lack,  And wonder if your heart still truly cared.  Yet hope endures, a flicker in the dark,  A stubborn ember fighting through the cold.  For though the past has left its bitter mark,  Also Read: https://www.maleja.co.ke/a-bridge-between-us/ My love for you remains, steadfast and bold.  Should fate allow, I’ll stand here waiting still,  A…

I built a bridge of words to span the gap,  The chasm left when love began to fade.  Each stone I laid in hope, without a map,  Yet still I lost the path that we had made.  Would you return, if only you could see  The strength of what I feel, the depth of care?  Or has the river swept too far from me,  Its currents carrying you elsewhere?  I’ll wait upon the shore, my heart in hand,  A beacon lit to guide you through the night.  For love like ours was never meant to stand  Also Read: https://www.maleja.co.ke/a-hearts-confession/ Apart, but burn forever, warm and bright.  If you should cross,…

Forgive my pride, my anger, and my fear,  For they have built the walls that kept you out.  But know my love for you remains sincere,  Despite the pain, the sorrow, and the doubt.  I long to hold you close, to hear your voice,  To feel your warmth, a balm upon my soul.  For though the path of love was once my choice,  Its loss has left me far from being whole.  Also Read: https://www.maleja.co.ke/the-unanswered-question/ Do you remember nights beneath the stars,  The whispered dreams, the promises we made?  For though our hearts are marked with love’s deep scars,  The memories refuse to ever fade.  If you would let me,…

What fault in me could turn your heart to stone?  What flaw so great could make you walk away?  I gave you all I had, and still alone,  I wander through this long and loveless grey.  Did you not see the tears I tried to hide,  The battles fought to earn your gentle gaze?  Or were my efforts lost, cast off, denied,  A fleeting spark within your fleeting phase? Also Read: https://www.maleja.co.ke/the-keeper-of-my-dreams/  I ask myself these questions every night,  A chorus sung by shadows in my mind.  Yet though I ache, I hope to see the light,  To find within your heart a love resigned.  If love remains, then let…

If I could speak to you, just once, anew,  I’d bare my soul, no fear to hold me back.  For every tear I’ve shed was shed for you,  Each moment lost, a step upon this track.  Would you forgive the faults I’ve tried to mend?  Or would my voice fall hollow to your ear?  Can broken hearts, through time and effort, blend,  Or is my love the only one sincere?  I cannot tell if love for me still lives,  Also Read: A New Year’s silence Or if you’ve buried it beneath the past.  But know my heart, its every beat, still gives  A hope that fate might bring us back…

The year turns new, yet still, I carry you,  A weight of love that time cannot erase.  Each thought of us still feels achingly true,  Though now it dwells within a colder space.  Also Read: In shadows we dwell  I’d send a note, a message soft and kind,  To greet the year with hope and tender care.  But fear restrains the words I’d have you find,  Afraid they’ll fall unanswered, lost in air.  Did love for me take root within your chest?  Or was it fleeting, fragile as the breeze?  For though I tried, I failed your heart’s request,  And now I’m left to question memories.  The silence grows, but…
