The Cancer That Struck Hope


The belief was strong for the Gods to disbelieve
Prayers have torn apart the history, dispelled habit,
That God exists, we could not see
The convincing ways made us aspire we saw Him once.

The trying times, the trauma and the turmoil
Couldn't much take their toll -
As patience didn't crumble and trust defied the unkind blows
The purpose we stood for - too compelling for anything.

The concern sheathed us from ill will,
It was indeed discerning - how care can build forts about and around
You could see love grow like a child, pampered and mothered
The smile was rich too far to melt the day's worries.

As every good thing must attract onlooker’s envy
As every virtue is called a bane, and all good intention classified
There was a cancer that sneaked in, or was injected in stealth
To neither's belief, it bloomed faster than what meets the eye
Painfully hurting and tearing us apart, for love to struggle
Daring the trust in us, the patience to endure.

In poignance, as I felt, prayed and clung to the undying hope
While I wished us to be part of the going, this last leg

You chose to part!
