as my tears scream to be let loose <br />you pretend to be sorry <br />when you open a door <br />only a crack <br />just enough to glimpse <br />the wonder beyond <br /> <br />as my tears scream to be let loose <br />you pretend to be sorry <br />you bolt the door <br />and leave the world <br />totally unaware of <br />the wonder beyond <br /> <br />as my tears scream to be let loose <br />you pretend to be sorry <br />you not only lock out the world <br />but also my heart <br />i am no longer able to know <br />the wonder beyond <br /> <br />as my tears scream to be let loose <br />you pretend to be sorry <br />when you say there is nothing <br />on the other side of that door <br />that it has never revealed any of <br />the wonder beyond <br /> <br />and so as you hide the key <br />behind another door <br />to which i have no access <br />you pretend to be sorry <br />all the while <br />my tears scream to be let loose <br /> <br /> <br />28 October 2003<br /><br />Stephanie van Oudtshoorn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tears-screaming-to-be-let-loose/
