My Heart

I opened the doors to you
Wider than for anyone before
You filled me with love, tenderness and faith
Like a well stocked 7-11 of emotional needs
Intimacy: Aisle 2
Security: Aisle 5

After taking all you needed you disappeared
Looking for other places to fill your needs
Long before I was ready to close up shop
I still gave my feelings away
In hopes of luring you back
Giving until all that remained was cobwebs and dust

Feeling unwanted and rejected I shut the doors to my heart
Now more cautious in allowing the next patron access.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
