First Line: The lovely porcelain urn has cracked
Last Line: Have turned aside.
Subject(s): Despair
The lovely porcelain urn has cracked.
A song has stopped.
Laughter has frozen to a dry sob.
My heart cries out in a strange new silence—
Heartache, frustration, and pain
Have bewitched me into one I know not
And have blinded my eyes.
Fear has drenched me with despair
Until I know not where to turn.
And you whose love alone could help
Have turned aside.
