Not Over Yet
Memories will prod me
At the most random times
Frequent as the days pass
Invasive ivy vines
I can’t seem to move you
Past images in my head
I feel that there’s so much
We might have left unsaid
A crevice that has opened
A heart that loves alone
Breaks then into pieces
Return love hasn’t grown
Hurting with indifference
Yet my anger fleeting
Reliving the good times
In my thoughts retreating
I should think of others
And yet I can’t release
The ember of meaning
In thoughts that won’t cease
And still I am finding
That I just can’t let go
Of the connection we had
That I hoped would grow
No fault to place on you
For my expectation
My mask of anger hides
Disappointment ... rejection
Often words unspoken
Drift to the floor like dust
Morphing into regrets
If only I had just ...
This beyond my control
Nothing to do but wait
Hoping I’ve affected you
Giving it up to fate.
