The Dive

How long have I been falling?
Where did you go?
Have I lost myself?
I miss you so.

I thought I had hit bottom,
Shattered and broken,
Free to remake myself,
Reality is a lie.

Wounds, scars, bruises,
Wasn't really all over,
Was it?
It's bleeding all over;

One solid memory,
The ice is shattered,
Tides of emotion,
Flow again.

Should I be insane?
Is there a point?
This can't be inane.
I must accept it.

It's over, done,
The dive is over.
And I've hit bottom,
Still missing you.

Falsified life,
Living in shadows,
I've been falling,
Falling without you.

The bottom is dark,
Lonely and silent.
It's haunting,
But to the cliff.

Breathe,
I'm alive,
Pulse,
Heart beating.

Bite my lip,
And accept,
The dive is over,
And I must prepare.

To try again.

Is it going to take 4 years to finalize my grieving?
