Jeers shatter glass


Someone's cruel words hurt to the core,
Though it was a gentle jeer,
To shake me out of my apathy
And meant maybe to calm my fears.

Jeer it was, about my essence, my being,
And I am from that dart still reeling
Because somewhere within me I know
That this emptiness may never ever go.

I had endeavored to be a woman loved,
Had blindly pursed this with abandon
Spurred by this need to given without thought
Now I understand love cannot be bought

And when that stranger jeered and mocked
At my search that engulfs and tears me apart
A dread so severe took hold of me,
That am I maybe destined to be forever apart?

This fills me with pain as I cry silently
For it shakes my faith that I may find
Someday that other half even though I grow old
Someone who is mine and mine alone.

A stranger's jeer should not matter
But that stranger was a kind man
He tried to show me the way in many things
Guided and made my pain a little less

And because he was wise in a few things,
I know he is not wise in all..
And yet I'm afraid of the darkness
That may come at night fall.
