I got caught in feelings unexplained
Life churned like a whirlwind of emotions
Then I lost my hold to its deep craters...

As the feet crushed my aspirations and dreams
The heart yearned to be up and beating...

The poor heart bled and drained out...
And the crimson droplets that fell upon the Earth
Sung a thousand hymns beautiful out loud.

Those who cared to listen could know the pain;
A shattered soul, a wounded heart, a fragile body -
All cried out loud - but the world seemed not to care
For it was lost in the din that crushed many more!!!
