Starting Over – Getting Over

Feels so strange

Here without you,

Still and restless, cold and wrong.

I keep listening for your voice

But all my questions fall to dust

And echo off these empty walls

Til silence cries to the Thunder god.

 

You would not have me sitting here

In mournful sorrow, daylight wasting

Tasting bitter vinegar and hasting

Sundown calm my fear

That I shall never know again

Your gentle touch upon my cheek.

 

Starting over, such a task,

A burden heavier to bear

Than all the Herculean trials 

Of ancient heroes rolled to one.

 

They say I must get over you,

Move on with new purpose and direction.

I find myself lost, confused and alone

Somewhere between prospect

And quiet reflection.
