Open Doors




Open Doors

A few sweet nights
knit together in passion
oh if I had stayed...
but life intruded
in  the form of an accident,
not wanting to know
what you wanted
I shut the door hard
behind me and walked away.

You kept calling
I didn't answer, sick
with nausea and fatigue,
heartsick, more alone than
I have been before
I opted for choice
and visited the doctor alone.
The pain wasn't enough
it echoes in me still.

You opened the door again
and when I told you
what I had done you sighed
asked me why I hadn't told you
sooner,and didn't I know you couldn't
be there for me if I wouldn't
let you?  In your arms I could rest
and I pushed the door open
again...please stay.
