Crumbling

is it fate or destiny 
He came like a whisper into her life 

the message hard to ignore 

- i love you sweetheart 

you're the one i adore 

how deep is this feeling 

how true even 

for the moment she felt consumed 

a love so deep 

only pure feeling.. 

an expression of love so deeply felt 

no eyes will ever see.. 

nor hands ever hold 

thoughts that can't be shared 

nor ever understood 

what can i gift to you, she thought

who means everything to me 

who holds my heart, my love 

this is just a simple sharing.. 

His words would mean so much 

right beside her own.. 

so essentially theirs..  

as she tries to ineffectually cleanse 

all the bitterness within 

She finds him there 

lighting one corner of her heart.. 

the glow spreading like ripples 

ever-increasing 

brightening everything in it's wake.. 

filling up cracks.. 

years of pain healing all wounds 

till she only feels him and nothing else.. 

the fragrance of his love 

stemming the crumbling within.. 

lifting her up as she felt the beauty inside..
