Close the Door

In silent contemplation
I surrendered to sorrow
I wallowed in the reality
that a life with you
was merely fantasy
Where you once filled my cells
with your scent and presence
Emptiness reigns supreme
I was left with a chasm
deep in the pit of my stomach
Wide enough to fill the Grand Canyon
two times over
If hope could have made you love me
my hope chest would be overflowing
with gold
I made the mistake of falling in love
when love wasn't an option
It was unforgivable on my part
So, I bow out gracefully
and I pass you along to the next one
who thinks she is clever enough
to tame you
All I ask is that you close the door
behind you.

(c)2000

Nice with a nice touch for the end, "All I ask is that you close the door
behind you".
