Shattered, Lost, and Broken

Into the coldness of the world I was born.

No love attached to me.

As a child, attempts to shatter my spirit and break my soul left me

tired and worn. 

 

But not shattered and not broken. 

 

When I met you into my life came love. 

The sunshine touched my heart for the first time.

I knew I loved you the day I met you.  

Loving you brought laughter, joy, and the lightness of true love.

 

That light slipped away the day you left me.

 

Your death left a hole in my heart to big to mend.

My spirit shattered like glass on pavement and my soul broke, like humpty dumpty never to be put right. With your death, I desend completely into the endless coldness.

 

Once again, I fell into the deep dark shadowlands of lost hope, lost love, and unending pain. Why would you bring so much love joy and laughter and take it away so quietly? How could some thing so strong and true get lost so easily?

 

Leaving me shattered, lost, and broken.
