(Then) I dared to live
And love and
Yes
To falter
I dared to dream
And hope and
Yes
Desire
I sought to fill
A gaping hole
Between myself
And what I named
Reality
It got me nothing
Save a hole
In my heart
Over you.

(Now) I dare to live
And love and yes!
To be grateful.
I dare to dream
And hope is no longer
Simply the absence of pain
Faith fills my once insatiable desire
and wisdom comes from knowing
That naming reality
Still gets me nothing.
But my heart is whole.
I’m over you.
