Jemma Hattingh Poet Rhyme

Closing time

I walked into that place
Sun shining on my face 
Knowing I'd leave soon 
But as my heartbeat picked up its pace
Growing fond of this new space
I already dreaded the sight of the moon 

I never once thought of leaving 
Even though It could never be my home 
I still just kept believing 
I could forever blindly roam 

But soon closing time came 
I was no longer treated the same 
The dishes were served and the bill over paid
But the servers grew cold and their smiles started to fade 
However I still would've stayed
Even in a place with no lights 
And cold nights 
I would've been the most loyal of clients 
Even if I had to be a cleaner , any kind if alliance 
That meant I would belong to this building even if it was no place to live
I would throw tantrums , behave like little children 
I would throw in everything I have to give 

But it wasn't enough 
Neither was my love
And then the cab was here 
It pulled up to the place
Like I pulled down my sleeves 
To wipe the tears of my face 
Full with love unrecieved

It was time to go home 
To leave like I always knew I'd have to 
Even though it was prone 
Why did I have yo leave it , leave you
