Love Poem: Shut

Written by: Anna Sander

Shut

Shut the windows, Slam the door
To drown out the sound of my lonely beating heart
Like long thorny branches, pricking deeply into my skin

Shut it down now! You don't belong here, you evil man
You've taken it all, with one flicker of your hungry sin
Blurring the shadows of what might have been

A lovely sunset on a sun silken shore
Was that too much to ask, for a little ardor?
The moon casts dark shadows across my grieving heart
Remember the one that you just tore apart?
With my heart exposed, and where walls have run thin
I will now find a new way to cope and a new way to begin.
