Shattered

Laying there in the dark
The abyss crushing in on him
The fragile pieces of his heart shattered,
like a vase carelessly knocked
from a shelf
Too easily given to a cruel, indifferent life
The numbness pulling the world away
His spirit wasn’t made for the burdens

....... the warmth,
the light,
the caress and comfort
She sought him in the pit
A savior who pulled him back together
and mended him with her embrace

....... whispered, please, hold on tight
Her love was the lifeline
that would always save his soul
He would hold on tight
Forever
