Never Over

Today
Four years out

It struck me

Why this anniversary

Of hurt

Hurts

So much

It’s not the remembrance

Of a day
Long ago
When pain came
And then ended

It’s the remembrance

Of the day
That the life we had
Changed

A remembrance

Of being introduced
To a hurt
That will forever
Be part
Of our lives

It’s never over

That’s the point

That’s the source of the pain

The knowledge that

From that day forward
This is forever
And never
Over
