Opened Door...a poem

Opened Door

I opened the door and asked you to come in

But you were not there.

An emptiness enveloped me

Before I could close it again.

Loneliness of time gone by

Broke me in half.

Words.

Images.

Places.

Romance.

All gone

Within a whoosh.

I looked for help to the walls of my room

But nothing struck back at me.

Self.

Isolation.

Depression.

I grasped the door knob

Hoping for some relief from the pain.

Grief.

Anger.

Bargaining.

Acceptance?

No.

But in the end

I will close the door.

And start over.
