Waking Up

It seems befitting for you

To be both things for me --

The one who trapped me in ice

And the one who thaws me out.

My heart has been healing

While I live my life in a  coma.

I'm waking up, feeling again,

It's like nothing has changed.

But you seem to have moved on,

Left me to heal myself, and

Wake up with these raw, long

Sleeping feelings for a phantom.

Stumbling on legs long since used,

My path's direction wavers.

Things around you change

As you sleep in peaceful ice.

I could chase you, a phantom,

In hopes of resurrecting the past,

Or let you fade into the distance

And hold on to your "goodbye".

You envisioned the scene of solo healing, if you would like to add more spice to your poem, I guess that you could talk about not having a proper goodbye or a fade goodbye to hold on.

Moving on seems so simple for some people and harder for others... when we watch a loved one move on before us it deepens the break up wound.
