Fortress

A fortress,
Built by love,
Tended with strength,
Broken by pain.

This is my home.
Rubble surrounds me,
Everywhere I look,
I see the remnants
Of what we built,
Heaps of emotion.

I am dwarfed,
Miniscule,
Standing in the shadows.

Stone by stone,
I sift through the wreckage,
Seeking,
Frantic,
Searching.

Stones cracked and broken,
Damaged by the wrath of pain.
Somewhere...
Somewhere...
Somewhere...
I know there is a solid block.
I know it.
Something left to build upon.
I pray.
