Tonight

a poem by Mary Mathew

Tonight…
A thousand tears
Flowed
A lifetime’s fears
Realised
An enchanted dream
Ruined
A concrete belief
Corroded
A resolved hope
Dissolved.

Tonight as…
A heart-wrenching knowledge
Revealed
A true friendship
Crippled
A sacred soul became
Invaded
A treasured memory
Tainted.

Tonight as I…
Await as per God
Ordained
As my depths of love
Glowed
It’s innocence was
Robbed
The fire of fury thus
Ignited.

Tonight as I shut…
Myself from everyone
Around
A prayer was cast to the sky
Beyond
For justice to be done on a love that
Ended

Tonight…
