The Door Poem by Priscilla Monroy

A new life is what you wanted
To be loved was what you yearned for
So you left us behind and went out the door
Don’t look back
They’ll be okay
They are better off is what you’d say
One day soon
I’ll return
And make it up to those I’ve spurned
You came back
You said, to stay
In your heart you knew
One day those words you’d betray
So the door would open again and again
Always promising the next return
Will be the end
Love is what We gave MOTHER yet love is what you searched for
Didn’t you know love is what you left behind
Each time when you went out the door.
