Closed Doors Poem by Joanna Pavlides

The heart not a servant
But we dismissed it both
Wrong time in life
Love came knocking on closed doors

You were ready
I was scared
You were scared
I was ready

Did we just miss it all?
Tell me

You were still
When I was running
So I stopped
And finally stayed

It wasn't easy
All I said
But I trusted
You'd understand

And I thought you did
The day
You kissed my tears away

You were going to walk off
But you stayed

Today you're off again
And this time
You may not be coming back

Is it my fault?
Is it yours?
Or was it just love
Knocking on the closed doors…
