I said, "I have shut my heart As one shuts an open door, That Love may starve therein And trouble me no more."

My room was white with the sun And Love cried out in me, I am strong, I will break your heart Unless you set me free." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE SUN by HAYDEN CARRUTH I COULD TAKE by HAYDEN CARRUTH HOMING BRAVES by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
