You knock on my door
I open the floodgates
Seemingly unaware of tides
That hit me hard and right
Convincing myself I do not regret
Though feeling of tremors creep in
One day at a time I say
But seconds seem difficult to bear
Thinking it is phase, will fade
Fanning last specks of hope
Wishing for a saviour
Shadows remain muted
Dreaming of a miracle
Soaking my eyes in tears
I ask Why me ? I reply Why not me ?
Slowly the water recedes
Face in mirror gets clear
Out there is someone new
Stronger and renewed view
