At Long Last

Your image haunts me.
I keep waking into memory.
I push away the vision,
So I must seal the division.

I will not free another tear,
Only in solitude will I persevere.
To reassemble my fractured heart,
I offer myself a brand new start.

I’ve held myself in chains for a year,
Your voice softly humming in my ear.
I close the alter to our past,
I move forward, at long last.
