Cold and alone

No one to love or care for me

Curled at a corner in a chilly dark room

hiding from the world.

A world of hurt, pain, misery and death

Afraid to face it due to the pain it has caused me.

A light shines from outside

I look up and notice beautifully crafted works of art,

They all portray                                                                                                                                                                                      

                          

 something I have missed out all my life.

A ghostly hand stretches towards me. I reach out and all the pain, hurt and misery disappears.

I experience love for the first time, a feeling I wouldn't want to let go.
