The Origin of Over

by Lady Nik   Mar 28, 2011


I sit here contemplating
my brain on hyper speed
demonstrating, what it's like
to feel someone's
heart breaking...

No one makes a sound
once that final statement
slips from your lips--

Over.

How could a four-letter
word mean so much to me
and nothing at all to you,

almost cataclysmic how
instantly I felt my mind enter
an empire of complete revulsion,
now that I have to bear
this life, this hell alone.

Over.

[stop saying it]

All I can do is say it, dream about it,
put it in a flame of hatred and eat it,
let it bury itself inside my wilted
veins and materialize into the
person I never wanted to exist.

Seconds bleed through the time zones
drying as scabs that I collect
over the years, to remind me that every
"over" has an origin.

    How could a four letter word mean so much? So true that when somebody breaks up with there love, they force the other person to blame themselves almost. Even if you don't want to you search back to find your mistake that inevitably led you to this. If we aren't strong enough we'll let the misery infect our hearts and change the person that we truly are just to try and make someone else happy.

    You've always been a great writer, but I can truly feel and see in your words that you're getting better! The best thing a writer can do is relate to there readers, write what they feel. Excellent job as always 5/5

    WOW! all the chosen words really jives and fit in perfectly with the emotions that makes it more stronger and very powerful. I know most people could relate themselves with the scenario of separation...I love every stanza...
