Closing This Chapter Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Facing one another on common ground, looking into one
another's eyes, pleading for answers to sooth our
hearts.

Feelings being hurt, words of anger crushing our spirits,
what is there left to love now, is there any hope, should
we go on or walk out the door.

Closing this chapter of our lives after all these years
of heartache and very little love to exist on, leaving is
not easy, but seems to be the only way.

Trying to get through to you that you cannot treat someone
you love as if they're your enemy and still expecting them
to love you anyway.
