A Quilt of Many Colors
She is but a remnant of her old self,
she has been shattered and scattered like broken glass on the floor,
fragile & sobbing to the touch.
Can I breathe life back in to her?
Can I resurrect her from the ashes of her sorrows?
No, this is not possible.
All I can do is sit in my corner & silently weep.
All I can do is fall to the ground & fervently pray.
Her garments are shredded & she has nothing left.
Maybe now the master tailor will arrive to sew a quilt of many colors & restore her shine.
For this I pray
all the day.

I changed the title on this poem about addiction, because every time I saw the word "addiction" (in the previous title) I felt depressed. Thanks everyone for your likes, & Stephen & Uilleam for your much appreciated words of understanding & encouragement.
