A Spark Of Hope Poem by Daya Nandan

Look into my eyes and hold me close,
Feel my silent pain that nobody knows,
The emptiness deep within me,
so vast and so much deeper than the deep blue sea,

All the special moments we once had are the secret treasures of my life,
And in every moment i desired only you as my lovely wife,
And now the content of your heart is shrouded in mystery,
And in you i cannot spot a single trace of our once treasured history,

How long can this unseen suffering last?
Since that moment you decided to leave me in the past,
I have been a broken asundered wanting you again,
i am like a wilting plant badly in need of sunlight and rain,

Will this pain last only till my veins run dry?
Will we find our own peace and destiny if we never try?
Will you never love me till my bones turn to dust?
Will you hold me and believe once again in the magic of trust?

Do you realise that when i look at you i wish for a second chance?
Do you realise that when my eyes see you my heart begins to dance?
Will you ever look me in the eye and tell me that you love me?
Will you one day break these chains that bind my heart and set me free?

Do you know that i still love you despite all that has been said and done?
Do know that in my darkness and sorrow you are my bright and shining sun?
Do you know that i refused other women because i still love you?
Do you know that you hold the key to my love thirsty heart so sad and blue?

Did you know that you were never an option, you are the one?
Did you know every time you ignore me is like a shot from a gun?
Did you know that even till now you are the one dream of every night?
Did you know that thoughts of getting back with you arise in my mind at first light?

So tell me, are you truly happy with the way things are now?
Is this the kind of life that you truly wish to allow?
Do you not still have feelings kept deep inside for me?
Is your vision so clouded by fear that it is so hard to see.

There is still a chance as long as we believe in hope,
A spark of hope is more than enough, we can find a life saving rope
We just need to have faith and we can find our way out
My heart is still open and this remains an option for you to think about.
