In that moment

So as I walked in the house
The blood in my veins increased my pulse
It's was dark everywhere
And there was heavy rain
Load shedding again? ?
Apart from coming back to doom
I could feel his presence in the room
And as my stress of the day began to fade
Of the day that The Lord had made
I could smell his sweaty stench in the air
So I took another step as imposed
The door behind me shut close
And my heart jumped with the bang
I calmly collected myself because I knew he was there
Letting go of my fear I only silently swear
As I took another step forward
In me, I felt the death of the coward
A candle lit up in front of me
I saw
something
Red Roses giving me direction
Showing me the way to go was my perception
So as I headed that direction
I could hear him breathing
I felt his heart beating
And my heart pumped faster to the cause
I got cold as hair erected off my pores
I let my hair fall off to my shoulders
But
As I walk towards him I felt colder
I saw an unclear image of him
Standing, waiting, patiently
The infatuated me wanted to jump in his arms
And tell him how I've missed his charms
So I walked faster towards him
And As I approached him
I noticed the music playing in the background
Confused
As I thought Zesco did this
Suddenly he grabbed me and pressed his lips against mine
But I was too shocked to respond so I pushed him away
I looked in his eyes that sparkled in the dark and not today
I can't read you' to myself I said
Confused out of desperation
I dared to say a word but he
Kissed my lips so that I be quiet
It was an inexplicable kind of silence
So as I dwelt in it
I noticed the words of the song playing in the background
All of me, loves, all of you..
All your perfect imperfections...
Dear Mr hiphop, are you listening to rnb?
Is my imagination playing with me
Mr. No Feelings, do you now feel?
Did your nerves get unkilled
Mr. Ego, are you in love?
Has your pride flown away like a dove
Mr. I don't care, are you okay?
Thoughts startled by his actions, I had more than a zillion questions
Flashbacks led me to that morning when he didn't want to touch me
How All of Him pushed me away
Like matter that was in the process of decay
Before I left I said I loved you
And he turned his back on me
As I drunk my coffee he said I needed to lose weight
I was losing shape, I had no curves or edges
I accidentally spelt his vodka on his t shirt
And he hated how I couldn't be perfect
No
All of him couldn't stand me
So I tried to retaliate
But he pulled me back in his arms
Like I was the only thing that mattered
I tried to fight him but his masculine hands
Overpowered me I lay there in his arms
Too weak to fight
With my head on his chest I noticed the syncing beats of hearts
For a moment I felt like he was mine
For a moment he was my forever
For a moment the stench of his fragrance was like perfume
So I let him hold me
Engulfed in his body we became we
Because in that moment I wasnt going to leave him
Or pack my bags and go
I wasn't going to erase all the good memories
And forget him and all
In that moment he was my rock
Me as his woman
And him as my man
