She had forgotten if she ever dreamt of a life, a besotted husband, a promising father to her children..she had forgotten what it was to live in clouds..weave dreams ..dream so high till she could dream nomore..she was pushed to ground close enough to make her realise that whatever she ever imagined as zenith had & would eventually fade away into zero.
He used to be there at the door every night only to be gone in the morning . Each day went by just like always ; her ears got used to the tirade, treating it as music while having no choice but to live with it and love it.
Her compassion became fear, freezing her into numbness ; the numbness she was enveloped in now..numbness she fought against every second, every minute of her life. She craved his presence to feed on his wisdom and for once feel privileged to be his blood.
With almost everything in life trying her patience ; a perseverant pestering towards her faith..she did her best to keep holding on...instinctively and innocently putting her trust in lifeless things.
Everyone around her still reiterated a ray of hope..beseeching her to await and welcome it with open arms..all she did was give them a smile..a smile which had forgotten its way up her eyes ; eyes that had lost their shine years ago never to come back maybe...yet she tried hard to put up a face and give them a feeling that they were familiar with..while wondering what wouldn’t she possibly do to revive her hollow soul..
