Dead Bolt Demise

Dead Bolt Demise

A Poem by willweb

When they look up,

need in their eyes,

how does it feel

to have introduced

ideas for their own good,

that end up being

your own demise?

 

When is protection

a wall built 

around their heart

that eventually falls,

burying you beneath

the bravery

you displayed?

 

When is love the

one four letter word

that comes back

to haunt you

because neither

could agree on

its true meaning?

 

When is sadness

the only emotion

left remaining

as the door slams,

the dead bolt locks

with you still inside

holding the key?

I know you didnt RR this one to me Will - I jumped on it from the Live Feed when I saw it come up. Im glad I did. You wrote me here. As Jacob remarked when he read it some months ago - this affected me deeply.
I must have a look through your back catalogue my friend.
Thanks for penning this - whenever it was...

I felt this one Will, can relate at the moment, reminds me of the struggles with my son, could take it a few places actually.

Thank you so much Frieda P. for your nice comments. I am glad you liked this one.
This is a goosebump giver. And so painfully true. Beautifully stated.

Thank you so very much John for your nice comments.
Some people find it hard to trust after the trust has been broken but if you keep yourself either locked away or push people out you will be alone, sooner or later.

Yes, that does seem to be the case. Thank you so much Noodlehead.
It is hard for some people to trust others maybe because they have been hurt before.But if you push everyone away eventually you end up all alone.Great one will :)

You are welcome :)
Wonderful wording, sometimes it's hard for some people, to let others in, (in their safty haven)... Sometimes there is too much sadness, that creates complete emptiness of feeling with a person, while there is certainly affection needed. This is just such a moment what you described perfectly. Your pen has great skills when it comes to observe moments in life like you did here.

My pleasure dear friend.
Many people lock the world out of their lives and then wonder why no one is around when they need a friend. Great metaphor. Lots of emotion in this one. Lydi**
