    Finally Over

    2005

    What do you do
    When it’s finally over?

    When trying harder is not enough
    When rescues come too late, this time
    When you are past the point of no return

    It is a cruel and painful place
    Suspended in the in-between
    Between ending and beginning
    Between letting go and touching again
    Between leaving and loving
    Suspended in the empty void
    It is a sad and lonely space

    When tears flow without comfort
    When numbness and pain collide
    When faith and love bleed

    When it’s finally over
    What do you do?
