Chance At My Door
By Jessica Walter
It wasn't for you,
but you answered the door
the moment came- I knew what to do,
but you had been there before.
that's something I cannont ignore
and I know he will knock no more
What a sad, curious fate
I could think of nothing worse
and although I wasn't the least bit late
you still got there first
and that's when I felt my hopes burst
I know he will knock no more
Opportunity comes along once,
and at once you must answer it's call
while my timidness may make me a dunce
that will never soften my fall
time to add another level to my cinder block wall
I know he will knock no more
Between friendship and lust
you clearly chose the latter
breaking the bonds of closeness and trust
but none of that seems to matter
to me, nothing in the world could be sadder
I know he will knock no more
Sorrow runs deep in my soul,
once again I am hurt, I am betrayed
an though I've tried hard to mend the hole
my stitching is looking tattered an frayed
dreams of completeness are beginning to fade
I know he will knock no more
I thought it could be real
I thought I was given my turn
and so I allowed myself to care and feel
sometimes I wonder if I'll ever learn
and so this emptiness within me will continue to burn
I know he will knock no more
