When My Life, My World Fall To Pieces Poem by Gert Strydom

When my life, my world fall to pieces,
when every other one has left me,
when the storms of life bash without mercy around me

and I resist destiny,
will you then still throw your arms around me,
when every other one has left me,

past hope, comprehension still stay with me,
when my life looks dark,
will you then still throw your arms around me

and look with tender eyes into mine,
will you leave wise words with me
when my life looks dark

as if even the gods hate me,
when I have lost all words,
will you leave wise words with me

will you still want to charm me,
will you still love me
when I have lost all words

as an anchor against the fear?
When my life, my world fall to pieces,
will you still love me,
when the storms of life bash without mercy around me?
