I am determined to close the door on love,
just as swiftly as I flung it open.
The power I wield to end this tryst of two,
suffocates the need I have to continue it.

I walk to change position.
You walk to keep from standing still.

I am peeking around the door,
wondering if you are watching me cry.
Will you ever grow into the place
I have carved for you in my life?

Are you my partner or my keeper?
Do you live with me or in me?
