My Heart To Them, Belonged

The doors stance, do I question At my request, did it open Though at will, did it shut tight As its entrants, did it welcome But he who turns his back Has only that which his mind can hold A world, did I leave behind A better day, did I see ahead Optimism, was no challenge to maintain Though it is they, who poison my mind With their words of reminisce That brings out the regret in me My decision, I can accept Consequence was my own bounding For my motives, I thought well A being of excellence, was my sight to be A dream did I seek to life Though a shell of my former self, has my sight become Remorse, do I ask of none For their well wishes, I heard loud Though to my ignorance, had I only listened As to stay, their pleas never stopped Though acknowledgement, I saw no need My heart to them, I did not know belonged
