When I walk alone
along the streets
in unfamiliar places,
and see the doors
of houses that line my way,
I think of a house
I used to know,
and a door I lived behind.A door that last I closed in anger,
a long, long time ago.
And now, I can't remember why.
I only know I never did go back;
though I knew someone inside was crying.
I never did go back.
And now, it's too late to try.
