Over

Seeing you

Seeing you doesn’t break
My heart anymore
No it doesn’t bleed
It doesn’t crack
Every time
You walk through the door

It took a life time
To get over the past
Over the memories of you that
I bought
I give you what has been
But what could be is mine
A pauper, I claim
What’s left
Of the fortune lent me by time

It’s not much
But it comes with a heart
Free
Free to be given
To the next one who stirs
The bloody flames
That excite it to affection

I will not have much
When you turn your back on me
Finally for the last time
But what I have
I’m thankful for
A heart that beats once more
And the hands of time
Ticking
For once
In my favor.
