After the long goodbye

 


After the long goodbye

the horrible heartache

starts to take hold.

Blood runs cold.

The chill burns your skin.

Is there anything left

where your still heart

once lived?

You feel bereft. Too many tears shed.

Life keeps tugging at the threads

like a scarf worn thin,

no longer keeping you warm

against the ice within.

 

It's easier to go back

for more

when they pick up

the phone and call.

You fall back into a cycle

where hurt is the outcome

of every wheelspin.

You sink into the emotions

that are still breathing,

still crashing

like waves upon an ocean.

Your will starts to give in

and you give out again.

 

After the long goodbye

all you can do is ask why?

You question if you were

right to call it off,

if it was ever enough?

If it was ever really love?

You start to doubt,

watching as your

sense walks out.

You wonder aloud

will this last forever,

the pain inside

that clouds your senses.

The part of your life

that has been severed.

Will the wounds heal over time?

 

Meals for one.

Long hours searching

for some sun,

when all that walks along

is the darkness

that clings to your bones.

Cinema dates alone,

places avoided

for the taste of tears

brings back

memories of years

spent with your heart

sat in arrears

and the account

has been closed.

 

But you realise that life

is slowly seeping back,

you enjoy

your own company,

and not feeling constantly

under attack.

You realise that the days

no longer seem so dark.

Winter has departed

and summer is back

to warm up you heart.
