Closure

When one door closes , another one opens

Meandering through my memories

   Times come to take out the trash

Is when i found this box of lies

   Well hidden in my stash

Opened one with hesitation

   The next with caution spurned 

The third with deliberation

   And the last with lesson learned

Over one hundred letters

   Have just been thrown away

To make me more the better

   And free me from dismay

Every line starts with a promise

   In an ocean of perfection we shall swim

Now at the eve of our demise

   Were they lies before you wrote them

The deception that has occurred

   Takes strength to behold

I believed your lies so absurd

   Seems like a soul has been sold

Two of my inner sanctum

   Both precious as gold to me

Should have spit and then thanked them

   For their depravity

See, i have a hard time

   Being dogged by people  I trust

Wishing the best by design

   Will of restraint is a must

Finally free of assumption

   Relieved to know the truth

Tooth fairy of consumption

   So please don't hide the tooth

As much as this causes me pain

   Trying hard to regain composure

As I discard of trash once again

    I now can have closure..

We all have things in our lives, moments, lies, deceits, that we'd sooner forget. But do we forget the good things we do along the way. What is a small white lie against giving a homeless person a hot meal, or cheating for a short term financial gain against giving a few pounds a month to help suffering children across the world.
Life was never going to be simple and straightforward. Temptation, as some would put it, is always going to be there. That's human nature, hell it's animal nature.
I think this is a great piece of writing.
