The Door You Never Opened

I waited in the quiet hall,

Footsteps fading on the wall,

Every whisper felt like hope,

But silence tied a fragile rope.

I knocked with trembling hands,

Dreams I could not withstand…

The door you never opened,

Still stands inside my mind,

I leave my heart unspoken,

Where your eyes were never kind.

The door you never opened—

I stayed and lost my time.

Letters scattered on the floor,

Shadows reaching for the door,

I rehearsed a thousand lines,

But none of them were ever mine.

I called into the night,

But you never heard my cry…

The door you never opened,

Still stands inside my mind,

I leave my heart unspoken,

Where your smile was never mine.

The door you never opened—

I stayed and lost my time.

And maybe love was just a ghost,

A memory that hurt the most.

I built a key from every tear,

But locks don’t break when you’re not near.

Tell me why I stayed so long,

Singing half a broken song.

I painted futures in the rain,

Colors bleeding into pain.

Your silence carved a heavy stone,

Yet I still called it home.

The door you never opened,

Still stands inside my mind,

I leave my heart unspoken,

To the love you left behind.

The door you never opened—

It closed me from the light.

I screamed where no one listens,

I burned in cold conditions.

Love shouldn’t be a prison—

But I locked myself inside.

I waited for a vision,

For a spark that never tried.

The door you never opened,

Still stands inside my mind,

I leave my heart unspoken,

But the pain won’t be confined.

The door you never opened—

It will echo through all time.

One day I’ll walk away

From the door you never opened.
