A/N: Hey guys, been a while since I've done a poem, hope you like it!
Shut down again, and again and again,
She stares up at the ceiling and wonders when
The stinging will stop.
Pinpricks of hurt in her gut,
It's like death by a thousand cuts.
Because each time it happens,
That light in her eyes dim,
That excitement in her heart once filled to the brim,
Gets lodged in her throat and pushed down so far,
It becomes unrecognizable.
So she sits on her bed,
Blinking back tears and tilting her head,
And fights every urge to board up the windows,
And hang a sign that reads 'closed for good'
Because she knows that she could.
But if she did there would never be a chance,
At finding the things worth living for,
Love and happiness and so much more.
So she doesn't turn the lock,
Or throw away the key,
And instead keeps her heart open, despite the fee.
But maybe tonight she can lay her head down to rest,
And instead of shutting it all down,
Hang a sign that reads 'on break for now'
A/N: This is another one of those updates where it's just my raw emotion and just feeling the need to get it out, after all, that's what this series is perfect for. As ever, I use this as a place to get my thoughts I order and the truth is, closing your heart means you lose the chance of happiness. And keeping your heart open hurts, but that chance exists.
I'd rather have the chance than not, wouldn't you agree? I saw something the other day that said something along the lines of, if you're tired learn to rest not to quit. And I think that encompasses so much of life, including this.
Please Review! I'd love to hear your thoughts!
And as always, thanks for reading!
See ya! :)
