I was over you,
Over your clean strong scent
Your warm hugs and pink peppermint,
Done with longing for you
To call at midday
And ask
How is my queen today?
I had conquered you,
Wiped your taste off my tongue
Burnt your pictures,
One by one
Till everything was ash
Cold burnt bitter
Just like my heart.
I was healing fast,
I no longer hurt so much
When our song played,
Didn’t imagine
Your touch anymore
On my lips, my waist, my hair.
I learnt how to cook for one
To finish my drink alone
To hold my umbrella in the sun,
Find in work and wine my fun.
I was over you,
My heart no longer
Skipped a beat
When I walked past your seat
I now kept the bed so neat,
Gone was the longing and the angst
Buried the Anger that I housed
I was free
I was whole at last
Delivered from hoping
Eternally,
Rescued from living
In make believe,
Done with the exquisite pain
Of watching you dress up
And return to her
Again and again.
I was over you,
Until your call
Came through
And shattered
my walls
And all
I can do
Is watch them
Fall.
