But Now I Have To Close the Door .....

Now I am in my own time
My mind drives in overtime
A crashing of cards 
I play a game of patients 
Decisions made 
So easy to turn around 
You say the words I longed to listen too
So wanted to hear from your lips
Time went slowly with the wordless words
Now you say you loved me and love me still
I turn inside to out with the sacred of thought
I can not turn back the road I am on
We had the path we had it all
But the emptyness you gave made us fall
A love from my heart and more haunts my being
I see you stand there near to tears 
A tear that falls like its knocking at my door
I climbed a mountain to release the pain I hid inside
I can not walk down the staircase again
My strength has been worn and torn for long enough
You say you will change that is a danger of knowing
As one bitten twice so shy now
I will love forever more 
But now I have to close the door

Endearing words for a moment for each has to go separate ways. Very sad poem but it shows courage to let go. Appreciate your comment to my poem. (^_^) Noel.

~ Gazing upon a bouquet of the reddest of vibrant roses and, remembering the heights of when love was fresh and new; inhaling the fragrance once more, of its forevers memorable moments and then, the vase is empty....As one whom has come to care very deeply for "Your Precious & Priceless Beautiful Heart & Soul;" I can only wish and hope for, "Joy & Happiness & Love, to Warmly Find Their Way Unto 'Your Lovely Brightness &'" ....Cont:)
