M

Open mind and open heart, I knew i loved you from the start. Forgot the poison you became, you carved my heart and etched my brain. My aim was true, my arrow missed, I close my eyes and bite my fist. You drag your feet across my floor, please don't forget to close the door. A breech of trust with ill intent, i'll never know just what you meant. Insisting," I cant do this now", Your angry shot across my bow. The circle, the triangle, then a square, it's more frustration than I can bare. No shame, no sorrow and no regard, you drag your feet across my yard. You're walking out again, "it's too hard" Don't forget to close the door. Time heals wounds and this will scar. Just another shattered heart in your repertoire. I walk, i talk, i live my life surviving my own personal strife. I think about you now and then, my thoughts control my weary pen. My water is calm, give or take. Again I've weathered your might wake. My yard is patched, I've cleaned my floor. It's finally me who closed the door.

Words that are deep, and yet somehow words of someone not wanting or waiting anymore. Depiction of live and hurt well blended. Good write meh friend.
