Today, I walked the distance from here to there… Crossed the paths I have always been.. Familiar and known places everyday traveled, yet at this moment Seemed unknown… Asked, what is the matter? My spirit is down, my soul is lone, and My heart is hollow… I seem to have lost my verve for loving someone.. The once burning light that sparked is forever gone… I do not know of why, I cannot tell you how… Only, that at this moment, my heart is sunken… And wishes to bow… My heart is empty… Numbed and incapable of any feeling… It loves you no longer, no longer willing… I cannot say when the end became… Only, that I woke from a slumber and didn’t feel the same… My heart is tired…. It has waited for your return… On the many trips and wanders you took by yourself… Left many a times wondering when, asking why, And not knowing, with no one to help…. My heart is exhausted….. It wants to be on its own, conditioned to all the nights alone… My heart is empty and feels no more… I think it wishes a life of its own......
Reason for writing:
This I wrote as I was closing a door. Forever locked. No chance of ever reopening. I wish for other hearts to have the strength and the wisdom to close their own doors. Especially the ones that are not healthy and do hurt. Goodluck.
