I was doing just fine
without you
without anyone
finally, I sighed in relief
I forgot to close the door
Suddenly
I was pulled in
Cautious, I simply peeked out the door
I shouldn't have
I should've closed the door
I had forgotten to
Maybe not
Maybe I hoped
But the door closed on it's own
and I thought
What a good thing it did
It opens again
To pull
pushed
and pulled
push...and pull...
I grew weaker to resist with each force
I am a tired soul now
Only so much strength left in me to
either
open the door for the last time
or close it for once and for all
I hate these games,
the pushing and the pulling
I want to settle.
but who's there to settle with?
So I push the door open
to walk away
to enter another
and pull it shut.
