with a thud and clink
of a locking door
my heart did sink
right down to the floor
like a half moon does
into the grey forest smoke
the lonely and lost
I am forgotten by you
the one I remember most
my house of heart
you once called home
now just a rented space
searching for a tenant
to love

The unexpected end of love or the parting ways of friends is a difficult thing for me to cope with. When someone who promised to stay, walks out on you in the end. For me it is especially hard, because it is difficult for me to open up, and once I let you in, like a memory, I can't get you out.
