Jar of Hearts: An Anthology

Behind Closed Doors

Behind closed doors,

everything changes.

Behind closed doors,

the heart rages.

/

Behind closed doors,

there are distances.

Behind closed doors,

there are differences.

/

Behind closed doors,

what's near becomes far.

Behind closed doors,

you lose who you are.

/

Behind closed doors,

the heart is hiding.

Behind closed doors,

love is vanishing.

/

Behind closed doors,

one could not see.

Behind closed doors,

is love meant to be?

/

Behind closed doors,

one feels the pain.

Behind closed doors,

there comes the rain.

/

Behind closed doors,

all love seems lost.

Behind closed doors,

one loses the most.

/

Behind closed doors,

one could not reach out.

Behind closed doors,

hearts get locked out.

/

Behind closed doors,

one seems to forget.

Behind closed doors,

promises are not kept.

/

Behind closed doors,

the heart grows weary.

Behind closed doors,

lines between become blurry.

/

Who would have thought,

that love empties and pours,

even if the heart valiantly fought,

All the odds behind closed doors?
