My Woman, The Missing Rib Poem by Mr Musa

That day,
The sky wasn't too bright,
But my heart lit up
As if it had never known light before.

It was the first time my eyes met you,
In the middle of an ordinary world,
And there you stood,
Like the answer whispered through countless prayers
In the silence I often cried alone.

My heart raced, not from nerves,
But because my soul somehow knew
You were the reason I was led this far,
The destination behind every tired step
And every moment I almost gave up.

You were beautiful,
Not just because of your eyes or your smile,
But because you brought peace
To a storm I had forgotten how to calm.
You were the light
That slowly healed the darkest room inside of me.

From that day on,
Your name became the only thing
My prayers ever whispered.
I asked for just one thing:
For you to be part of my life,
For us to never part.
It wasn't just about falling in love,
It was about finding my way home.
You weren't just a woman I desired,
You were the rib I had lost.
The piece I was created incomplete without.

If only you knew,
I would offer you my breath
If it meant saving yours.
I would become your shield,
Standing between you and the cruel world,
So you would never feel what pain truly means.

Everything I promised you,
Every piece of love I showed,
I never gave to anyone else.
Not to those who came before you.
Not even close.

Only with you
Did I lay down my entire soul.
Because I believed,
Still believe
That you were the answer I had prayed for,
The woman destined to complete me,
To be the rib beside my heart.

And now, as I write this,
My wish remains unchanged:
That you'll return.
That you'll come back and become one with me again.
Because this breath means nothing,
If my rib no longer holds my body whole.
