Analysis of My Being



Posthumous is my pen
I write about you after you went to the heavenly abode
My depression talks to me everyday
I begin to pray and make happiness stay
I am in love in each and every way
There is a framboise lipstick in my purse
Purses pray salaat
My fingers perform salaah
I am a live wire
