Relapse

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.

    London bridge is falling down, my fair lady.
    Please re-erect the walls, cos when he walks in this time, he just might walk out again. Then it would become a hurt-filled process.
    Love the simplicity of the lines…Well done Sunshine…$ß.
