SEPARATION




SEPARATION

the dull ache of your leaving 
still lingers, 
the darkness surrounds me 
like a cloak
my heart bleeds, still an open wound
after all this time
I wrap the days around me
like a binding sheet
I shut out the feelings
my heart is heavy 
my days long 
I try to chase away the memories
of happier times
they draw bitter tears
and useless regrets
I try to accept the way
of life, not really understanding
why things must be this way
