Love Sonnet 66: ' After You Stepped Outside, And Closed The Door' Poem by Reyvrex Questor Reyes

After you stepped outside, and closed the door,
To leave this room, in starkly grey and black,
The question asked, as pending on the floor,
Is whether when, or if, you will be back;
This tryst adjourns in friendship, love unsaid,
Afraid to be exposed to pillory,
Abuse of privilege would have it paid,
To win in such a Pyrrhic victory;
Someday, if you would close the door again,
While coming in to cast the past away,
You will not be required then to explain,
Why, after all, you have returned to stay;
……Behind you, bridges will not come to burn,
……My iron gates have not yet learned to spurn.
