What Lies In The Darkness

I find myself in a place filled with happiness, I see her, she's standing there, I walk towards her, I see her it's Noma.


"Noma" I say! "Noma" but she can't hear me, she doesn't turn! "Noma" tears fall down.


I suddenly open my tears and I see Lihle.


Lihle:"You must be missing her that you have been screaming her name for hours now"


Somehow I feel dizzy, my heart beats fast and I close my eyes


I hold her hand tightly, she leads the way and I find myself in a beautiful place.


Noma:"We can start a new life together away from your parents, just us together forever like you promised, I love you Langa"


Do I go back and live unhappy life with my kids or leave them and for once choose myself?


I choose myself and the love of my life, for years I've been unhappy and finally we are together forever.


I hope they will be able to forgive me.


"Langa!" he's not moving, his heart stopped beating 


What's happening?Why is this happening?How do I tell the kids that their father left us? 


Noma this is her fault and now I have to take care of her child!


This is just too much for a person to handle, I don't deserve this.


Langa must have been unhappy, our parents forced us to get married after I fell pregnant, he would sometimes call me by her name.


And now I am left with the consequences of the choice our parents made.


I just lost my bestfriend, the father of my children and my soulmate.


I wipe my tears, I still have to tell the kids.


I hope this is a dream, a nightmare and tomorrow morning he'll come back.


Boss:"Sorry for your loss, you are allowed to take days off until you're okay".


I am doctor, I save lives but I couldn't save my own husband's life.


I remember when I first met Langa, he was so handsome the way he used to look at me, I remember when we first kissed, when we first made love, when we had our first baby, when we got married and exchanged vows.


This is death, we are apart now, both in different worlds and people think life is unfair.


I play Fragile heart by Yolanda Adams all the way home.


Now I'm standin' with news of a tragedy


The only thing that matters Lord is You


And I'll cherish every moment that we've spent


'Cause he takes care of all fragile hearts


Here I am going on with a fragile heart.
