Locked And Double Walled. The tying up of loose ends. A Poem written by Colleen Millsteed.

At times you are so often on my mind
I’m then left to wonder where you are,
I question whether you are finally happy
While always loving you from afar.

It’s unbelievable after all these years
I’m finally letting my wounded heart heal,
I think I’m finally ready to close our book
Flaunting my strength as I work on how I feel.

We possibly still have a chapter or two left
That’s if I consider tying up that loose end,
Or maybe I let sleeping dogs lie after all
Maybe the cost is more than I want to spend.

We will continue to replay our story
I’ve got my memories, good and bad,
I may stop in to visit once in a while
But not enough to start feeling sad.

All these very long years I’ve hesitated
To visit you in my deep darkened heart,
To utter that final dreadful word goodbye
Then section off my heart to keep us apart.
