Closure
by Richard VinceIs it worth opening a door
Just to close it?
If I ask the question,
Will it turn out that
I was wrong all along?
Perhaps some things are
Better left unknown;
Perhaps some words are
Better left unspoken.
Too many years I spent
Writing mysteries I was
Unable to solve, walking
Into mazes I never
Found a way out of.
This is not their
Responsibility: it would
Be unforgivably selfish
To hurt them just so
I know, so I must remain
In blissless ignorance.
