When My World Was Gone

One time in the past,I was in my world of single blessedness
My world was transformed when I entered the sanctity of marriage
One man became my world
He was the last I saw at night when I closed my eyes
He was the first I saw at mornings when I woke up
So he became my world,so he became my life
When he got sick little by little my world collapsed
As if an earthquake shook the ground
When he died my heart and the whole of me crushed
Living without him is like living in an isolate land
My life,my world is no longer a pillar to lean on when I stand
I am in the world of miseries without a shoulder to find when I cry
Now my world has gone
And my life is now in vain
I sleep the night of sorrows
And meet each day with pains
Yes, my husband was my life,my world and my all.
