Keep Closed
How sad,
I can't understand.
What is gone,
I did no wrong.
Longing for a song,
that can tell the tale.
A steady train derailed,
bailed and hard to inhale.
How sad I conclude,
the brood lurks in my mood.
I do what I feel,
for this I reveal my hurt.
Further I pursue,
what's dread of my gloom.
I am not doomed,
ruined but soon I'll let someone in.
Afraid within,
let the strength exist.
A persistence,
a dying wish.
Let go and keep personally closed.
End.
About this poem
I met a woman who is a widow. I did not understand the severity of its history. Perhaps this poem will suffice.
