Walking Away From Love Poem by Kirstin Barnes

Is there life outside this box?
The whole that love forgot.
Or is a dream too far away,
You had to let it rot?

You'd search for the future,
And cry for the past.
You'd grasp at the present,
Would love come at last?

But then you're in reality,
The hopes and dreams, they fade.
You remember all the good times,
But still you're too afraid.

Love could last a lifetime,
But you're too blind to see.
When you turned to walk away,
You walked away from me.
