The Poem-- "The Slammed Door"

O, yes, I called you twice,

But no more did you reply;

How could you turn as ice?

O, why? Could you tell me why?

All seems a false mockery,

With no life, with no meaning;

Where does lie the mastery

Over sentiment and feeling?

Losing a friend like you,

Now I grope in the dark;

Was our amity indeed true

That left me in misty murk?

Without a rigid reason,

You caused the block;

Amity has no season;

Nor does it give us a shock.

True amity does provide

Comfort and care;

It does never hide,

But all does it share.

I tried to be a friend;

You slammed the very door;

You tried to put an end

To amity with severe sore.
