THE DOORMAT

I lay outside waiting for you,in the cold, I should go away,you are using me I am told. Standing by your doorstep everyday, Waiting for you,I,anxiously in the cold,lay. You use me to let go of the day's remains, I'm am now just a collection of those stains. I know you are gone,long gone away, But can't help hoping you will return,I pray. Should have dusted off the fragments you left behind, But here they are indelibly ingrained in my mind. And when you will be back,as you do, I will unconditionally be there for you. I can't escape and in this doomed loop am bound, You have left my heart a bloody battleground.
