Close The Door Poem by Valerie Dohren

Close The Door

Rating: 5.0


Close the door when you leave,
place a barrier between our hearts.

This night
I shall be alone –
without tears, without regret.

Close the door when you leave,
pull it tight
and turn the key.

I shall soon forget -
you and I

were never meant to be.

nice, short and sweet, a love not lost just a love not to be

A delightful love poem. Love lost is never easy, early acceptance can be a blessing though.

Acceptance and rejection... two opposing mental features! But there is no absolute verity for them! Those once rejected also can bombard back to life! So not yet time to pull the door tight! (am not serious.......) Nicely put, Val

An arrow that shoots straight to the heart of the matter. I must say Val this one is short and to the point. Why beat around the bush when it comes to love. If love has died or can no longer flourish why try to bring it back to life? A very distinct and poignant write. Bold and beautiful.

an eye opener f r the many devastated young ones. So true, Val, If it was not meant to be, why remain in the illusion of passion.
