When one door closes...
I’ve heard the saying
When one door closes, another opens,
I felt the disconnect and the lock clicked shut
It closed for just a moment
Then opened so hard
That it spun me
I went down in a haze of mixed emotions,
Not over my loss but feeling for you,
My wants mangling each other,
Eating each other alive,
Until there was nothing left
But me
When the tears stopped
and you were there, waiting
I ran toward you
Wanting change, wanting freedom
Embracing an uncertain future
For love
Your eyes were like the ocean
A swirling punch bowl of blue and white,
So inviting in their dance
So severe was the pull of your undertow
That I dove right in
I want to scream
And to cry
And to shake you
All at once
I want you
To look me in the eye
And explain yourself
I want to punch you
And hold you
And love you
Because it's what you deserve
I want you
To tell me you hate me
And love me
And that it'll be okay
Because I'm not sure what I want
But I want it.
