Your Swinging Door

I answered with love,
you questioned
with anger and pain

I then held you close,
but your eyes
failed me again

I told you truly,
as our wishes
dropped to the floor

Then you asked again,
and my heart
—your swinging door

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)

Phillip Garcia Date: 7/4/2016 11:55:00 AM Very nice. I've found ballads to be surprisingly difficult to keep concise but you've done so here while maintaining an appropriate flow. Well done, an enjoyable read spinning with meaning Login to Reply Kurt Philip Behm Date: 7/4/2016 12:09:00 PM Thanks so much, Phillip
