A Nightmare?

The cry of losing my soul,

A hollow void, no longer whole.

The ache of life without a goal,

As shadows of fate take their toll.

I saw my mates, united, strong,

Their bond a melody, my silent song.

A stranger’s blessing, fleeting, long,

An echo where I didn’t belong.

It all began when I turned away,

My mind adrift, too far to stay.

I saw the cracks in trust’s decay,

And witnessed betrayal in disarray.

The nightmare dissolved as dawn drew near

Better half's hands touched with cheer .

Through the haze, a silent tear,

I whispered hope to reappear.

... 

Sikaran

With a hope catch up with sleep
