Pass
By: Joi Maree Flowers
Because of the fear of returning to loneliness
Once the shared closet becomes half empty
And the left side of the bed
Becomes cold
Because of the heart break that results
In days of tears being cried
Seclusion from the eyes of naysayers
And isolation from the warmth that awaits outside
Because the regret of bearing one's soul
Results from the revealing of secrets once kept sacred
By the one trusted with your life
The once known now formerly known as
Because the remembrance of one's name
Replays memories once made lovingly that can't now be erased
The name that once before brought joy
But now elevates the pressure of one's pain
Because the reason to not
Outweighs the reason to
By those hurt once or twice
Or more than a few times
Is
Why love is better left standing alone
Without grabbing a hand passing it by to hold
Reasons enough
Why to it some say
NO
