Like so many times before

Like so many times before,

I open up the door.

I can see the clouds in the sky,

I can hear your silent cry.

Teardrops are falling like rain,

and I can feel your pain.



Like so many times before,

I can sense the winds of change blow,

Heaving and pushing, like snow.

I feel the fists hitting deep into my heart,

ss you call for me,

but there’s no end and no start.



Like so many times before,

I am scared to open the door.

Like you, I can take no more.

I can see us falling to pieces,

so many years, so many creases.



Like so many times before,

I open up the door.

Like you, I can see no more.

Like you, I too lead my life unsure.

Like you, I will break in two,

so please, this time, I’m counting on you.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem for an ex friend of mine...she really needed help but the more I tried to help her, the more she pulled away and it really hurt...I needed her to let me help her, to better herself and she refused to acknowledge it...
