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.
