Behind the door

by Libby M   Jul 29, 2004


Broken

Behind the door is where you stand

Behind the door is where you feel safe today

The door known as thee sundering door standing between

Our hearts

Our bodies

Our souls

Oh my darling even

Our Love

You have spoken your piece

You have interpreted

The reasons to why

You stand behind the door today

‘I love you but I must foresee alone what lies before my eyes’.

Thus my darling the excuse you have given to me

I believe you not when you utter the words ‘I love you’

I believe you not for if your heart has ever truly loved me

You would have not hid behind my door

You would have not allowed it to divorce what once rang true

‘I love you...but.’

Define love?

Define it before you close the door completely

I have once stood behind those doors

I thought such a fool I am

I revealed all and held no truth away from your heart

I took care of you in the best way I have known

I thought it be impossible....

For Love I knew not how to express

A fool surely I would have been if I didn’t open the door

On a September night, it came to be...

I opened what was close for so long

I opened and I left fear behind the door

I left all of what kept me safe

I left all

I took only my heart along to greet you

‘I love you but...’

Famous line that should be

You dupe

For when one loves, meaningless words do not exist

When one loves, they love completely they love honorably

They love truthfully, they love with the heart; they love with the mind

Learn from what you have had with me

Though I was only a dream

Everyday you made it feel like it was a reality

From the moment you learned of my existence

I have told you, love me not as a wife, love me only as a stranger

Instead you have done the antithetically

You loved me in the purest way you knew how...

Though time proved your love to be tort

It proved that you only fell in love with the idea of being in love

I now stand naked

I can see the truth

I can see what now is broken

I can see what you have violated without the sense of care

My heart ...

officially is now divided into million pieces

Take what you have gained from me

when you come to love again

please love purely and with complete honesty

take what you can from these unspoken words

Take the truth

Love not because you’ve desired

for Love should not be awakened unless it’s desired

Love because

love came to you knocking without hesitation and gently asked you to love back

Though I stand with my shadow

My heart I no longer have

for my heart has broken

and

my darling you are the cause.
