Revolving Door
By Paul Wilson

You’d think my heart has a revolving door
the way you come and go at will
I’ve heard…I love you so many times
when you need me or you’re looking for time to kill

Fancy this if you would
me saying no and walking away
I’m tired of being your puppet on a string
playing those silly love games you play

Tomorrow you’ll be on the outside looking in
wishing the door to my heart would open again
Perhaps you’ll wonder why I act like a stranger
when we meet… never smiling not even a grin

One lonely silhouette on the wall
where there use to be two
One heart is breaking
from the memory of you

I’d sooner die than let you see me cry
so my teardrops I’ll conceal with the rain
I’d open the door to my heart if I could find the key
then I ask myself…why suffer the pain



~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~

~ oh, the loneliness ~ the heartache... You captured those feelings, so well. That vivid image is still imprinted upon my mind as I am writing this reply.

C'mere you.

Sometimes it's just like Lucy smiling sweetly while Charlie Brown reluctantly tries to kick the ball again...

I benched m'self this weekend too.

(I know another kicker who oughtta be benched, but HOW about that Drew Brees, eh?)

Love you Paullie! MUAH

Linda...Glad you related to this. Thanks for your kind words. Finally I am getting out of my not writting rut, two in two days, thats gotta be a record LOL...Paul

Karen...I can always count on you to bring a smile to my face. ( Charile Brown & Lucy )
Thanks so much for everything...Paul

About that kicker, whats the deal? They had what I thought was a good one and they dump him for the chump we got now. Someone needs to have a talk with ole Tom Benson.
Drew is the man...he can chunk that ball.
That was a great confidence builder for the team.

Paul, it is so good to see you and read you again...but on such a sad note...

yanno, I don't think it's fair that men feel like they can't cry, but to, in this situation, surely I can grasp the reasons why

Hugs and love to you
Lee J.

Hi Paul,

This is the first time I have read your work and I have to say that your construction, usage of words and the general feeling of the message
being conveyed is very concise.

An really good piece.

This hurts, dear Paul!

Tears shed, even if in loneliness, will help the emotional storm to calm down.

Intense write.

Love,
Margherita

All...Thanks so much for your sweet replies and for caring. Sometimes I just open my heart up a little too much and get hurt by others and other times its my own fault for caring so much. I know the person this was written for will never read it but it helps me to open up a little.
Thanks again so much for your support and the hugs...Paul
