156. YOU PICKED UP MY HEART

(Credits and appreciation to the owner of this picture

Darkness loomed 
over my head
and air seemed 
to have thinned down
and the walls seemed 
to close upon me
life slowly withdrew 
from my body

I needed support 
to lean on
I needed light 
to get through
I needed words 
as comfort
I needed love
I needed you

When I had given 
all of my trust
and almost all 
of my life to him
he walked away 
and left me to die
to mourn his loss 
in such grim

Then you came by
like a faint breeze
blowing sense into
my tired mind
and you picked up
the pieces of
my broken heart
and made it whole

Now you're also gone
leaving me broken
like I was before
but even worse
because I thought
you'd stay a little 
longer if not
forever

And here I am
nursing a broken heart
and a wretched soul
dragging myself to
continue my journey of life 
and to cherish your gift 
of a beauitful child -
your son
