Close The Door Poem by Valerie Dohren

Close The Door

Rating: 5.0


Close the door when you leave,
place a barrier between our hearts.

This night
I shall be alone –
without tears, without regret.

Close the door when you leave,
pull it tight
and turn the key.

I shall soon forget -
you and I

were never meant to be.

But watch out Val that person could turn the key and lock you in. You never thought it through! Seriously though a nice poem.

Detachment is attainment supremum. Powerfully stated.

Quite the contrast between this and Dust of Gold you're showing great versatility in the age old theme of He loves me, he loves me not. Point well taken......

An arrow that shoots straight to the heart of the matter. I must say Val this one is short and to the point. Why beat around the bush when it comes to love. If love has died or can no longer flourish why try to bring it back to life? A very distinct and poignant write. Bold and beautiful.

an eye opener f r the many devastated young ones. So true, Val, If it was not meant to be, why remain in the illusion of passion.
