I Left The Door Open

By HiramDiaz

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I left the door open so that you didn't have to knock, but you never showed up; I left the water running so that the wounds wouldn't form scabs but you inconsiderately shut the water off; I left you somewhere between the altar and the pews to pursue truth, but I think you're following me, daily - and now all I know is another 45 min. passing of supressing the tears drowning my apathy, to see the truth everyone, but me, understands - so I left the preachers, to allow you to defend yourself, but, I think you have no such intentions.Every word is helpful.... i like criticism... hiram Written February 3rd, 2002 © on Feb 02 2002 03:43 PM PST   18 • 0 • 13
