Shut Down

Shut Down

He left without taking
a single step - he just
closed his "door" and
completely shut out
the world, leaving me
behind in wonder of
what I thought was so
much more

All the smiles are fading away
as reality sets in
and his closed door
is a constant reminder
that he won't let
"anyone" in....

My heart is sad
for his woe
but until his "lonely" stops,
forward we will never go
stuck in time like an unwound clock...
