IN THE LURCH

IFY ARINZE

In the lurch, when darkness wrap up daylight,
and there is no dawn for a new day.
When heavens door is shut on you,and the prince
of persia sits between u and ur prayers.

In the lurch,the fear of tomorrow and the unknown
keeps u jerking and yanking at night,and the grief of
the morning envelopes u like the firmament,uncertainty
becomes ur best friend,and u find solace only in ur own
tears.

In the lurch, when all u eat is pain, And sorrow for water.
When the voice of the most desired seems far from being
heard,when thier footsteps only turn out a mirage,when
thier touch is only a conflict shadows of dreams at night,
only to wake up to reality they are not real.

In the lurch,when comfort does not come forth and grief
becomes ur only companion.
When the shadow of yourself hurts u inceasantly and the
fear of ur heart keeps u in bondage and u find no pleasure
in life.

In the lurch,when u look for words but they dont come out
right, or they don't even come at all.
When they come they get stucked somewhere cos there
is no one to listen when ur pains cannot be seen, yet ur
heart cries out loudly.

In the lurch,where all promises are broken and hope is only
an illusion.
When ur heart is cursed by those u love, yet they have not
said anything.
When u begin to question the loyalty of ur friends for u think
u live in a fools paradise.
HAVE U EVER BEEN LEFT IN THE LURCH?
