Why oh why, do we endure?
How many times
must a heart get broken?
Until we understand
is time to move on?
For how long
must we take the punishments?
Until we realize
we’ve had enough?
When oh when
do we get the courage?
To turn around
and not look back?
Is it the sweet memories?
that stop us in our tracks?
Is it the hope
that tomorrow will be better?
Is it the love
we don’t want to extinguish?
Why oh why
Do we endure such things?
Are we afraid
to start all over again?
Even though we waiver
we must never forget
“The wind of a door closing opens another”
