Closure

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It's funny how despite the factThe world has throttled me out of placeIt's taken me three months To accept that I am shut.Behind me is a doorRefusing to openAhead of me... Of course I careBut it overwhelms meWhen I compare.My world is goneFragments of my lifeLie in thieves' housesAnd here I sitAway from Home..From the streets I thought Were mundane,From that smell I'm gladI cared to smellThe morning before I left,From the music in the carAs we saw familiar streets Roll by...From familiar smiles,Familiar hugs.Now my whole beingCrys out for someone to hold meAnd all that wraps around meAre layers upon layers of hurt..But trust me..Whatever they've done to me..They won't make me impenetrable!I moved to the states 3 months ago with my family.. and that was when we lost everything..
