Keshan Govender Poet I do not know?

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
