A hopeful heart

Lead me to the cross

When the storm rages
And my strength fails me

When my heart grows weary
And shouts gradually turn to whisper

Hold my hand
Lead me to the cross

Where my heart used to be

Where are those days?

The happy days where there was so much to look forward to

Where are those moments?

The amazing moments that took my breath away

Where are those actions?

The cute actions that blew my mind

Where are those words?

The sweet words that made my heart melt

Where are those times?

The times you were there when you should be

Where are those promises?

The reassuring promises that kept the spark alive

Where are those hugs?

The warm hugs that made me feel at home

Where are those ears?

The ears that listened to me

Where are those eyes?

The lovely eyes that made my eyes light up

Where is that heart?

The beautiful heart so good and true

Where is that future?

The bright future we were building

Where is that time?

The undivided time you had for me

Were they all lies?

Please tell me they were not

My eyes can see

But they don’t see you anymore

My ears hear clearly

But your words have gone faint

My heart still feels strong things

But it’s back to default

Where you met it

Where it’s used to

Where it loves to be

It's back to  me

I’ve crawled back to my shell

 

Noise within and without

Blaring horns
Shouting people
Deafening music
Bubbling parties

Worried hearts
Troubled minds
Aching heads
Teary eyes

Outward and inward noise
Battles with the world
And battles with self
Insatiable thirst for happiness

Stillness is all my soul longs for
Relied is all my heart desires
Calmness is all I crave for
Peace is my utmost desire

Peace in a disturbed world
Order in a chaotic nation
Love in a troubled home
Quiet in a noisy mind
