Alone Encompassed in a fragile shell of flesh and bone, a spirit and a soul, self-contained, yet incomplete, one separate entity, I walk an uncertain path... Searching for someone to understand my heart. Fearing rejection, remembering past pain, I hide within myself; seldom reaching for comfort until the loneliness is more than I can bear. Once again, I stand alone, the mirror of my dreams shattered in pieces at my feet. Carefully, I pick them up one more time, hoping to salvage what is left of my trust... my confidence in love. Oh Lord, I remember your promises, I cry, as 'heartache' cuts deep into the flesh of my heart. Jagged edges remind me this is not the first time my mirror has shattered. Feeling the sharpness of pain, I weep, wondering how to restore the beauty of my dreams. Pieces, still reflecting the light, but they are so broken... All I have left here in this solitude is my faith. It is the glue that will hold the pieces together until I find new dreams... new hope. |
