Leap of Faith

That time when I took a leap of faith...

You take my hand and whisper "jump",

Let's take a leap of faith,

But I cannot swallow down the lump,

And face the looming wave.

The air is salty with my tears,

I hold onto your hand,

Your arms enclose around my fears,

They'd leave at your command. 

I feel your gentle eyes on me,

Helping me prepare,

Upon your face, it's love I see,

A beauty in the air.

"Don't be afraid," I hear you say,

Warm breath against my ears,

"Don't worry, it's going to be okay..."

And away flies all my fears.

I plunge into the icy cold,

Everywhere is black,

But, ah, your hand's not there to hold,

Oxygen I lack.

Through the glassy blue-green waves,

I see your leering face,

There's still a part of me that craves,

To feel the love ablaze.

But alas, your love is nothing true,

An illusion to the eye,

And I'm drowning in the deep vast blue,

My broken heart can't fly.

I remember when you took my hand,

And I took a leap of faith...

And now, I have a wound to tend,

A broken heart to save.

This is a very good piece, hun.
It shows your hopes, your fears, your hurt..You trusted him but he ruined that trust and he broke your heart..
People say that a broken heart will heal..it's true but a piece of that hurt will be with you..always..
First loves are those that we'll never forget..ever..

Thank you :)) You're right... some wounds will never completely heal, which is why i choose to write about them :) writing helps.

Niiice...and I guess it's my turn to finally use the word I think is overused; this is "breathtaking" and it remained so in spite of the ultimate sadness---really, really hard to achieve, and made for an awesome read....
Thanks for sharing

A lovely read with some eloquent lines, we all get hurt at some point in our lives its all part of human nature but time soothes away the anguish and we become emotionally stronger as a result. A broken heart will heal !

Well penned again !

[Katho28]

Thank you for your review and for your insight into life :) yes you're right... a broken heart will heal over time... but it will never truly be whole like the way it used to be...

[Tom]

Well perhaps, but then when new love comes along you'll find it will become whole & wholesome once again !

[Katho28]

:) well said. you give me hope...

[Tom]

Never lose hope, love always comes along more often than enough when you least expect it !

[Tom]

Thank-you !
