Its then I knew ( Gold )

Key turning in on a closed door,

Churning sickness watching time,

Silently in rooms I tread,

Corridors over crowded pushing through,

Battling emptiness,

Shard of glass,

Once a beating heart,

Lost of all emotions,

Surrender.


 

Author notes

When love finally died... and then a decision was made
Took another two years.. but now I have moved on
Happy and free to be me again

    Its tough being alone in a croud. Theres a song by Bobby Goldsburo that says " A man withought love is only half of a man. But a woman is nothing at all".

      I remember the singer and will check out the lyrics of the song.
      It can be tough alone in the crowd.

    Will you stop writing about my life!
    This rings so true to me too Julie
    one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make
    and hope I never have to do again.
    It is so liberating to be able to be me again
    Good luck with this hon.

      We seem often to mirror our lives
      I hope not to do this again myself
      and again I mirror being me again.
      The children came first, and although they still do, they are growing up, and I can really move forward xxx
  • I know where you are coming from with this. I wrote something similar. This is thought-provoking and powerful and you can feel the fear of that key going in the lock.

    You know what is coming next. And the imagination of the reader does the rest. Fantastic, and yet deeply-sad piece. Your emotions are all but gone now for the person who had done those things to you.
