Release the Spirit ~ Rise to Ashes

Voices haunt from pages past.
Only heart shards wound me.
Beyond lost… frail and weak!

What do I seek?

Cannot break free…
Cage of crystallized tears.
Only memories, hold me together.
Keep me in sanity.

End still unspeakable.
Bond made unbroken.
Without you…
These emotions don’t work.

Why can I not, release the spirit?
Leave me behind…
Ending visions of agonizing tomorrows.
Days that start with I and not you.

Often wondered too often.
Why breath has reason to inhale.
If reckoning has arrived.
Never regretting, thankful you existed.

Rest peacefully please.
Return to my work, I must.
Know this love will never be lost.
As long as words are within me.
