Should Doors Close

Should doors close and you stand there alone
unhinged by the deep crushing silence
of a home once occupied by love,
remember me fondly but live on.
Should doors close, and the darkness descend,
fix your eyes on the bright light of hope
which guided our path of happiness.
Hold fast the key to life, should doors close.
