Poem: Keep The Key

Keep The Key


By: Joi Maree Flowers

I won't return
So that means you can stay
It's better that I hold on not to these memories
In this house that I wish to no longer call home

For we are too far gone
To return to the days of good
To smile away the pain
To forgive those made mistakes

As the foundation built to be strong
Has weakened
And now threatens to collapse
If we both should stay

In this place where one of us does not belong

So I'll go
And leave for your next desire
My key
And maybe she can strengthen again
These four walls
That once held inside it a broken we
