Blanks

My mind went blank for a bit

four days to be exact

I held your presence in contempt

the moment you decided to come back

You walked through that door

the one we never lock

and I was taken back to a year before

A moment I haven't been able to block

But again I am left alone wondering when all this will end

there were so many promises made

a growing list of problems to mend

Soon the heart goes blank

when the mind has nowhere else to turn

I've said so much, while so little you've heard

Perhaps silence will be stronger, the next time you return
