A Mind Made Up

A Mind Made Up What are you looking for Knocking on my door Your heart to be returned Now that I am spurned With pleasure it is yours Slammed shut are the doors Take it in your hand And try to understand It’s no good coming back When it’s love for me you lack All my trust in you is gone Since you found another one No matter what you say There will never be a way You can talk until your blue My love has gone for you So take your heart and go away And forever from me stay No more knocking on my door I’m not what you’re looking for. R.D.Seal. 25 Jan 2013

The finality of this is strong. I guess it's all in the situation you're in, but sometimes forgiveness can't be so easily received. Sometimes you just have to move on. Really well written piece, Richard. And I hope she'll be able to move on as well!

Wow...good for you. But then again...sometimes you need to forgive and remember that anyone can fall. No one is infallable, Richard. Hugs.

I enjoyed reading this one. It reminded me of the subject of some old rock songs I used to listen to such as that one that goes: I hear you knocking but you can't come in!!

wow Richard, I guess you have made up your mind... it's hard to hear someone go on and on, when all trust is broken. I have a bad boyfriend, who knocks on my door...i wish I had the nerve to turn away and not listen... always~ Linda
