Thresholds
By Sean Mc Shane
I walked thru the door you had left open
into a hall of mirrors you call your heart
where cracked reflections
of a distorted me
watch shards drop
as frames fall apart
I tried to search for your true center
but I must've waited far too long
the
light that followed me blinded you
and
your shadows became too strong
they covered our dreams in
black tar
after you presented them
framed in polished gold
you whispered about a beautiful world to
come
same one you had already sold
to the silhouette in your shaded mind's window
the one who keeps your spirit fading in
over the graveyard of lost
loves
that is now your sacred garden
of sin
well I hope you two will be happy
in the dungeons of forgotten hate
And I never meant to lie to you
when I said you were my soulmate
you had the chance to be happy with me
if you had simply chosen it, but no never
now I'm at that open door
again
walking out and closin' it .
. . forever . . .

Older and wiser and a sad tale you tell. Some people love to wallow in self-inflicted misery, if you slip up momentarily, in keeping them constantly amused. This brought back memories, cheers mate!

Thanks, d. It is very sad when people choose to stay in the safety of a miserable solitude. No thanks. But thank you. Later -

...this is stark & frightening. very well crafted, a little discomforting. hoping it's purely fictional...
