A Rebuilt Haven Poem by Yassar Ali

Her safe haven is broken yet she walks with grace
Broken promises have left their trace on her face
Her smile cannot disguise the aching pain in her eyes
Rivers of tears flowing beneath her as she cries
Judgement clouded she's impersonating the rain
Her pleas for help are in vain as she feels the pain
She crept into solitude and for a lifetime she wept
For those promises that were never kept
She'd sleep with thoughts of a better day in mind
Yet she'd wake to find hell beginning to unwind
As disaster slowly but surely began to unfold
Nobody offered her a hand to hold as she called
Shattered dreams with so much pain in the air
Living a nightmare with monsters everywhere
A nightmare from which she waits to be woken
Every promise ever spoken was soon broken
Curling up on the cold floor like an innocent girl
Knowing she's my world and truly a precious pearl
We met in the moonlight with nobody else in sight
I looked into her sparkling eyes and knew It felt right
Love as strong as ours could never be wrong
Such a beautiful moment that we waited for so long
You take shelter under my wing and ignore the storm
For we're preparing our home for the newborn
The life kicking inside you baby will soon breathe
Our seed will proceed to feed those people in need
No more pain baby it's over I promise you a fresh start
You're a part of my heart and never will be torn apart
United beneath the bright stars we proudly stand
Lovers destined to be together hand in hand
