Dreams of deceit and rejection haunt my sleep

The push/pull of love and hurt has settled so deep

My heart is shattered,
Broken pieces on the floor

I bleed trust, love and security
Flowing freely from my fragmented soul

I reach aimlessly in the dark to find the light of hope
It is so very faint, so far away, so elusive
How do I bring the shards of my heart to the wavering flame?

How do I forgive the veracity of the wounds and
Gather up the love and trust that is

now lying shattered on the ground?
