Stoic Glass

I am an enigma a cipherless stone
Endlessly crawling from dark to light
My soul and desire lost in a tarnished shell 
My dreams defeated my passion killed
The fight feels lost I fought unarmed
And by my wits alone survived 
The cruel anonymity 
I was disguised in love
Only reached by you now lost
Your touch - your arms embrace 
Your healing grace your smile
Your tender words of life
My shell has cut me off
I am afraid I am lost
