Closing This Door for Now

Darling, how can you let me simply just walk away?
Aren’t you supposed to be convincing me to stay?
There is love radiating through your eyes, but not
Through your soul. Maybe you are just simply a dot
Or speck on the horizon because you are no longer
Close enough to touch or feel. I am the stronger
One or I know that I should be, but I cannot be
The one to hang on anymore. I know that you see
Me, but is that enough? I know that in my heart
I should walk from the situation to get a new start
Somewhere else and with someone else, but I
Cannot just do that when there is so much eye
To eye and history. Sometimes I wish that we could
Just start over with a new slate, just so the good
Parts of us could shine through, but there are bad
Parts to everything too. We cannot stay truly mad
Forever because there never enough room for
That. I know there is a big chance that this door
Will close, but maybe later down the road it will
Open and we will be more ready. The chill
Will be ready to take us over, but we deal with
The aftermath. Loving you was no mystery or myth.
