Over & Done Poem by Jim Meyerholtz

Over & Done



Over and done, ripped apart,
Pain, shock, inner dark.

To hear no sound like the one heard,
To hear pain, without a word.

In a second it was done,
A million miles, the mind did run.

From here to there, up to down
In a second it all turned around.

Life is no longer the same,
From the sound, the look, the pain.

What held me up, let me drop.
It had to end, it had to stop.

No one knows the pain I felt.
Downward my heart knelt.

It comes and goes in a blink,
Life changes in a wink.

A person, a place once sure,
Have both taken a detour.

Years of time, given for not,
Years of time lift to rot.

In the blink of a eye
now it is I who cry

Try to stand, only to fall.
Try to see, what I once saw.

To live again, to have a heart
To long to be in out of the dark.
