I stand here crying on this side of the door Your footsteps echoes fading on that side of the door Three inches of pine is all that separates me from you A wooden door and miles of pain from a heart torn in two Once more I am all alone on this side of the door As I lock it one last time to unlock it nevermore. |

That gave me a chill, so strong was the image of the door never to be unlocked again. I have been there many times, it is a sad place.. |

God we are on the same wave link. God. I have a poem I've been working on for the last two weeks involving a door, I'll post it soon. I believe a door to us is so important, going in and out, locking, allowing them to enter, and keeping them out. great poem. I could go on and on. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

I sensed a very strong message with this, and know that feeling all too well. Absolutely wonderful verse |

What a sad, despairing poem. I've been there, too. But I unlocked the door again afterwards quite a few times! Was worth it, too ... Lotharingia "For God's sake, he's a poet. Poets are meant to feel miserable. Otherwise, what the hell are they here for? What are they going to write about?" Tom Holland |
