Close the Door Behind You

Close the door behind you You had no busuness in these gardens You were not of my choosing Yet you accused me of the using For every deed and act I paid in full and retract You bulldozed your way in And caused destruction You relished your self made confusion And blamed me for your down fall I didn't help you up I didn't help you fall I left you alone to crawl out of the mess you made And when all was said and done You kept asking me If I ever missed those days Did I love your ways And I said now as then Close the door behind you.

Karen,,,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
