Don’t try to spare my feelings <br />Maybe I haven’t got <br />The thing that you are looking for <br />I must have missed the plot <br />There is no need to humour me <br />I promise I won’t cry <br />And if you walk the other way <br />I’m sure that I won’t die <br /> <br />At least I don’t think so? <br /> <br /> <br /> I only have myself to blame <br />Should have kept my big mouth shut <br />But my brain was telling me <br />You took a second look <br />Forced me into thinking <br />That some things are meant to be <br />Damn my overactive mind <br />And damn my honesty <br /> <br />And damn me! <br /> <br />It’s said there’s someone for everyone <br />That’s what fate is for <br />I thought that you would follow me <br />If I opened the door <br />So maybe I forgot myself <br />I’m sorry if it’s true <br />I blame my mind for telling me <br />That my someone was you <br /> <br />I’ll consider it a lesson learnt <br />But I won’t close the door <br />Underneath it all, you’ll see <br />I know that there is more <br />So even though I’m stepping back <br />And watching from afar <br />I still have to let you know <br />That I’ll leave the door ajar<br /><br />Paula Robinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/open-door-5/
