Your stare is like a tonic for my soul <br />Bonded by pain, similar as though manufactured from the same mould <br />Purgatory robbed you of everything and you rose, you are a survivor <br />Dead and alive at the same time, you are a survivor <br />Your snarl as you slowly reveal your teeth, the idiocy of this world amuses you <br />The irony that only two minds see is amusing to me too <br />We are truly and indeed two of a kind <br />My mistress, only you calm my mind <br />I need you and nothing else <br />In solitude and pain you are my saving grace<br /><br />Mthoko Mpofana<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-are-my-saving-grace/
