Around the holy fire as we moved, life took on a lovely hue
Togetherness, trust and love galore
But suddenly it disappeared… I could see it no more.
You were the epitome of love to me ; my past, my present, my future , my dream
Where did that scatter and spill? My heart, my body, my soul all scream
Hurt and scared as I tread on
Ambiguity rules my heart, fears make a sound
The world has stalled, my life’s forlorn
What have I gained, what lost, with what do I remain bound?
You betrayed my love, my trust, shook the earth on which I stood
Clipped my wings the hardest; every way you could
I am scared to stand, am scared to fly
Could there be another reason but for my soul to die?
The water that’s spilled, the glass that’s shattered
My heart’s that’s broken, Oh… does that matter !!!
I pick the pieces- a jigsaw it appears to be
How oh how do I fix it ; nothing near nor far I see
I remember our love; our song
It helped my dreams, helped me tread along
With you by my side , I was never alone
Today- my life , my dreams, stand forlorn
I need to stand, I want to breathe
But somewhere down from under my feet
The world slips by… my dreams die
Distraught I stand, o take me near
Alone I am, please come here
Salvage my existence , salvage my soul,
I need a dream and I want it whole !
