Waiting

You left a couple 24 hours ago
It feels like a lot of 24 hours ago

You’re out there 
And I’m still here

Talking with myself
About you
And us
Which isn’t much of an us anymore
If it’s just me

I cant seem to take my eyes
Off of the door
The way you left it
A tad bit open

Couldn’t have you just shut it all the way?

It would sure be easier for me
If there wasn’t this light spilling through the crack
Giving this room a dim light
A sliver of hope
That things might work out
That you’re going to come back

Oh my
That’s a nice thought

You walking right through that door again
Scooping me up

Saying that you’ve had your space
Had just enough of it
And you’re ready to share it with me again

You could have just shut it completely

Because this hope, this possibility
Is going to hurt me 
More than you being gone
If you end up being gone for good

Why can't I get enough of your poetry? It is so good!
I loved this one especially because we all have this little hope that we hold onto no matter what.. why can't they leave and just shut it all the way? ahah great job!
