In the whirl of mayhem,
the smiles and laughter drowns
all entrenched misery
that is embedded deep within my heart.

The core of my emotions lies
as fragile as ever,
like glass
ready to be shattered in a hope of gray.

Dreams, promises, hopes
fall like droplets of rain
right down to the reality of this world,
dispersed.

Fears, doubts
gripped me by the neck
straggling,
ripping me apart slowly.

Step by step I take,
trying my best to sew back
the strings of hope
dangling from my heart.

The excruciating pain like
a needle piercing my fingers.
as crimson red blood drips down,
from the attempts to stitch back the shreds.

The tears that run dry,
The incomprehensible desolation,
The blue skies that faded to gray,
Never been able to grasp hold of.

Again, and again,
I desired to hear a word of assurance,
the resounding whispers in my ears that will say,
“I’ll be there for you, always.”

The uncomprehending emptiness
Render me helpless, useless,
Till life becomes meaningless,
Leaving me callous.

Pieces of shattered dreams,
He picked up one by one.
His boundless love embraced me
As He said to me – “I love you.”
