Sitting alone in the entry way
Rehearsing what I need to say
I don't want to rid my heart of you
But it’s something I have to do

As I climb up the staircase
Tears streaming down my face
This is going to be so hard
But I can't let down my guard

I stop over by the attic door
To clear some space, so I can add more
It’s been awhile since I've been up here
I stop to brush away a tear

Opening a trunk to pull out a scrapbook
I sit down to take a little look
A photograph of you falls to my feet
The picture of love when it was so sweet

Although I feel the urge to stall
I know I must move on down the hall
I unlock the door to your room
Which looks to be more like a tomb

A place where love was left to die
And you won't bother to tell me why
I open the door and step inside
Don't try to run, there’s nowhere to hide

There are a few things I need to say
Before I send you on your way
So have a seat and listen to me
And I will tell you what’s to be

Do you remember happy times in our past?
When love’s spell was so easily cast?
Now it seems the magic has run out
And all I have left of love is doubt.

Since your love you never show
I must now ask you to go
You see these rooms I must reserve
For those with the love I so deserve

How I wish there was something you could say
To make me want to let you stay
But too many words were left unspoken
And you can't regain a trust that’s broken

So the time has come for you to depart
Your lease is up at the house of my heart
Now find the door that’s painted black
Go fast, Go now, and don't look back.

  We can never say all we need to say. Sometimes it's good just to close the door.

You write so well. I guess there is a room for lovely memories even of love stories that have come to an end.

Love,
Margherita

Margherita our heartaches and hardships build us. to make us who we are today, Some of our hardest experiences teach us wonderful things about life, If we've never felt pain, how do we have empathy for others? What don't kill us makes us stronger,grins.. Thank you once again for your warm encouragement.. Its wonderful..

perfectly penned.

And all I have left of love is doubt."
