Over You

She was just sitting there peacefully

enjoying a little coffee

in her favorite persimmon cup

and there you came
crashing into her thoughts
like a car through a plate glass window

She ducked behind an upturned table
hoping to shield herself from the shards of spraying glass
but you'd already pierced the membrane of her soul

Her insides curled up

like a cheap wallpaper job in a steamy bathroom

exposing the fact that she still isn't over you

Time and again it seems
you just can't resist
carelessly kicking a pebble off a bridge

into the perfectly still pool below

sending the pain radiating in concentric circles

engulfing all that she is

reminding her of all that you were

How dare you sit there 
painting memories

that sting her heart
as you take her back to those simpler days
when cares were few

and you loved freely

never seeing the end ahead

How is it that just when she thinks you're finally gone

she finds you playing in her heart

like a song on endless repeat

and damn it

now all she can see

through the blur of her tears

is that she’s still not over you
