A way forward?
Gone to the hills, but not to the top
A crackle as wood splits from the fire
Haunted in sleep of the blood past
How long does pain last
Ive asked the sky, the burning wood
Bowed down to the ground, held her hand
Thrown afoot of this beggars bed
When did love forget
Fossilised amongst regret, though still.
Standing a pair of eyes hearing all they see,
Why do I feel such guilt. Anger flows,
I'm in denial, I can't let it take me
Where I do not know, to give in,
to break, the mountains would move
Who then would reach the top, not I,
not them, just a river of hate
beneath our knees, beggars to the end.
I fear the clear way, change is a foot
Forgotten how to be the one holding a hand
Ice and stone took hold, but see there
A crack, a start, time to hold on.

...laced with self doubt in contemplation of a new relationship perhaps. The sensory crossover in " a pair of eyes hearing all they see" is a fine touch as is the almost breathless ending. Classy and heartfelt work.

Thank you.
self doubt; yes. not quite new relationship, although there are aspects of a couple of relationships.
I think I was trying to tell myself to get on with and move off a topic that Im still feeling very angry about.

I very much liked the way you related the problems of a human to aspects of nature. Also, great final line.

Interesting and thank you also. I like the last part, but I wasn't sure that it was the right pace.
