The Paths We Walk

It’s very easy for me to fall back into you

But you walk in and out of me

Like you own the place

Like you can leave for wild adventures

For plans I’m not a part of

And return knowing you’ll have a steady bed

I don’t know why I gave you my key

You are always able to get in

Each morning I wake is a surprise

And each evening I sleep

I wonder if you’ll come back

Always searching for you

But one day

I’ll change the lock

And no matter how many times you

turn the knob

Or sit on the stoop in the rain

hoping for a door to open

You wont be able to feel me anymore

And you’ll finally know

how it’s been for me

This is the path that I’ve walked with you

And this is now the path you taught me to walk

to let go of you
