misery

unheard of among the miseries
life that provides and takes away
joys of being, tears of loss
can one single drop of love caress pain
pain caused by a speeding vehicle
unmindful open spaces created out of lust
ditches caused by hunger for more
hollow brains devoid of concern
one breath taken away from want of care
one heartbeat that could create many more
love and passion that faltered
at the behest of broken rules
can one embrace  kill the pain
the pain born out of empty hands
dreams lost in the melee of broken hearts
lives that were, could never be again
can one glance ever return the way it was…..
