Shay Old Poet Free verse

duru

You opened up the door to my dim crestfallen heart 
Once you stepped inside, the door slammed on you, no longer apart 
The dreary atmosphere tightened its arms around you 
Aching for something to brighten the corners of my mind 

You were the first to enter my desolate land 
It was barren and bare, a desert of sand 
Yet you still bent down and let the granules fall between your fingers 
The resigned architecture within me, I'm writing myself an elegy 
Antithesis to my desert, a shadow of clouds casts over you, it lingers 
Foreboding the future you're in for, I was unaware of this tendency 

You didn't know exactly where you need to be 
You asked for directions from Descartes 
He directed you across the forsaken land 
You traversed for me, one of your counterparts 

  
I wish my door had a lock 
Maybe I should have answered it when I heard your knock
I let you straight in, unbeknownst to you who you are 
I'd never dream for you to be someone I saw, my forbidden star 

You left my heart dreary, yearning 
You took advantage of me, undiscerning 
You made me want to learn the guitar 
I'd be your artist for a pourboire 
But you pulled at my heart's strings causing them to depart 
Please help me put them back together, this wasn't in my compart 

You opened up the door to my dim crestfallen heart 
I wish I had never let you in, I wish I could forget everything 
I want to hate you 
Please let me hate you
