Like the first cracks in the ice of a pond <br />My heart began to break and fall apart <br />Desires and plans slipping through the cleft <br />Pieces falling into the cold water of sorrow <br />Any hope of becoming numb grows futile. <br />A frosted crystalline web began to form <br />Where love and contentment once lived <br />Harsh pain of loss depletes the body of warmth <br />Yet the heart beats unable to let love cool <br />Once a foundation is made of doubt and fear <br />Of mistrust and regret it is bound to collapse <br />Leaving behind a vacant heart once filled <br />Sorrow of such emotional magnitude <br />You feel it in the very depths of your being <br />Unable to see anything but darkness <br />Faith as thin as a spider web is all that is left <br />Yet you hold on the this thread for life<br /><br />T.James Becker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/spider-web-of-faith/
