But Now I Have To Close the Door .....

Now I am in my own time
My mind drives in overtime
A crashing of cards 
I play a game of patients 
Decisions made 
So easy to turn around 
You say the words I longed to listen too
So wanted to hear from your lips
Time went slowly with the wordless words
Now you say you loved me and love me still
I turn inside to out with the sacred of thought
I can not turn back the road I am on
We had the path we had it all
But the emptyness you gave made us fall
A love from my heart and more haunts my being
I see you stand there near to tears 
A tear that falls like its knocking at my door
I climbed a mountain to release the pain I hid inside
I can not walk down the staircase again
My strength has been worn and torn for long enough
You say you will change that is a danger of knowing
As one bitten twice so shy now
I will love forever more 
But now I have to close the door
