Wrong

When something that at one time felt so right...is not..

 

One rainy night

You showed up at my door

Saturated by errant drops

Your eyes were glued to the floor…

 

Lifting your head to take in my vision

Your eyes were wide with emotion…

Some of hurt, some of vengeance

And some of unerring devotion….

 

I knew why you were standing there..

You were seeking clarification

If I meant this was the end of us,

Or if there was room for reconciliation

 

I thought I had been clear enough

When you met me in the park

When I told you this just wouldn’t work

You remember, it was well after dark…

 

We both came to the conclusion

That this thing we had, couldn’t survive

We came from two different worlds

How would we ever fit into each other lives?

 

I was the one to get up first

And start to walk away

But you grabbed my hand, enclosing my heart

While asking for me to stay..

 

It took all the courage I could muster

To pry my hands from yours

For in doing so, I ripped my heart

And wrecked some mental doors

 

So baby, I have to leave it this way

I know you understand

Deep down inside us both

You weren’t meant to by my man

 

Once this thing is old in mind

You’ll forget about us and move on

Because if I let you through this door tonight

Everything we righted…will again go wrong
