Opened Door

.
I will not find you
Furthermore you’re a ghost

Nothing
lies behind you

No ties now bind us
My mind had come apart too

You would nevermore be the one
I’d bind my heart to

What’s more I’d never know
the you I loved

(or thought I loved)
before

So there we were
busted at the seams

Because desire did unwind me
and heated want did blind me

till I’d checked and played-out
every banal lusty scene

and there you were behind me
walking out an open door
