all i have

 

Love.

What i know is;

its as faulty as it is perfect

cruel as it is kind

surviving on meagre offerings 

Leaving small tokens of immense value

 

Little things are all i have. 

They are glimpses of the sun

On dark, dark days.

they too are being stolen from me

One by one

Each loss pushing me further into darkness

so dim now i have to go by feel.

One hand guarding the last flickers

The other combing the walls.

the loss is devastating

The fight to survive the cold

wearing hope down

All i have are these little things

Take them away and all thats left is obligation

Numbness takes it hold  ever tighter squeezing 

a heart lies stunned and freezing 

Waiting for loves rescue heart broken

And all i hear are the words "petty tokens" 

not worth the heart they are written on...

And the dark got even darker.

A Dark Place

Sometimes there seems to be no light at all, then a new day dawns and well, not so bright, but not black as black either. Hang in there. Change is also a verb. One big empathetic hug ~Stella~
