Gutted

A Poem by Red Brick Keshner

 

`

It's never easy to step out into the sunlight
away from the safety of your walls - indoors.
Sometimes you forget just how hard it can get,
Until a door slams shut in your face in midstep-
knowing that you threw out the key to yours.

It's never fair when you give your heart away,
only to find out their forever ended yesterday-
That you will from here on forward love on,
caring for both your heart and theirs forever
while the unrequitedness would be for sure.

It's never too late to hope and dream of good;
all will be well if we trust in the heart we love-
that what has brought us together upholds,
until a window opens up and lets light in again:
darkness has no place - forever eternally bright.

Again a really nice piece - excellent wording and rhythm

"Until a door slams shut in your face in midstep-
knowing that you threw out the key to yours."

A great analogy, a short but very much complete piece - thanks for sharing!
