Evermore/Nevermore

Outside I'm frozen

unmovable

resolute.

The decision

has been made

long ago;

you learned the

perils

of pushing

too far;

unlike

all the others

no inch

no quarter

is given.

You try

and you try

to uncover

to discover

a suitable replacement

someone

something

a reasonable facsimile.

There is none.

For the world

the face is

unmoving

stone

like my heart.

Cold.

Dead.

Inside I long

for the days

past and

passed.

It flickers

like an eternal

fire

unquenched

unwavering

still.

Left with

no choice

lingering

waiting

watching

aching

it's done.

Forever.

No repair

no return to

the way things were.

But

I still

want to.

And I can't.
