I knocked on the door
It opened before I heard a response
Never hearing a voice I walked
Peeking from room to room
Till I found you perch on the bed
You did not look up and smile like you always have
What was different now?
I do not know if time had stood still
Was there a time before all this?
You voice once so sweet to my ears
Now held news I could not bear
How could I leave you here?
But knowing there is nothing I can do
I leave you there sitting on the bed
Shaking your head
They say time alone will heal your pain
Not in this case
Time will not erase everything
I leave wondering
Why did the door have to open?
