A Cry for Love
Deep within my broken heart;
Bruised by loss and rejection;
Tears flood my wounded soul;
Unwanted by society;
I have become a burden;
I cannot see or hear;
My brain cannot remember;
My mind is anxious and depressed;
My body does not work anymore;
I am but a tiny violet,
One among many;
I grow unnoticed;
Among the roses and the lilies;
Very small in an open field;
Bathed in shade and sunlight;
Needing to be cultivated;
Yet left alone and unattended;
Do you not hear my cry for love?
Bruised by loss and rejection;
Tears flood my wounded soul;
Unwanted by society;
I have become a burden;
I cannot see or hear;
My brain cannot remember;
My mind is anxious and depressed;
My body does not work anymore;
I am but a tiny violet,
One among many;
I grow unnoticed;
Among the roses and the lilies;
Very small in an open field;
Bathed in shade and sunlight;
Needing to be cultivated;
Yet left alone and unattended;
Do you not hear my cry for love?

Lisa, the original imagery is truly inspired!
Beautiful. What a tragic masterpiece here! You are indeed in our prayers!
