TINY SHRED OF LOVE - by Swetha Baskaran

TINY SHRED OF LOVE   by  Swetha Baskaran Floating, heart askew In the dark, deep tunnel of nothing Claw with every cell of me Reach out for anger, greed, sorrow Not the alone, gray, empty Tiny shred of light I wait for, hope for A delusion there to help Hold my hand tighter Around the severing rope My only tie to the world A better life, twinkle dust Of joy, love, a home No more tears, aching soul For a touch to hold on Until then hope for, wait for The tiny shred of love.
