Closure doesn’t exist.

It’s just there to persist.

You shake your fist for 

An explanation that can

Make sense of why you

Hate them, but it will 

Never make you feel

Better in the end. You

Know deep down, your

Closure was when the

Door closed and you had

To keep yourself composed.

You have a right to be upset,

You didn’t see it coming, how 

Could you have known? Now

You’re rushed over with feelings

Of regret, but your story isn’t 

Even half of the way over yet.

Why would you want to sit around

And wait for closure, when you

Know for sure, you’re on the right

Track to be back to your old self.

Eventually, as you realize the only

Help you need is from yourself you

Will feel like you got closure. Because

Now, the cuts aren’t fresh anymore; 

You can start to heal them. Then,

The next time you crave closure

You’ll remember how much it hurt

Before, and all of a sudden a

Closing door won’t be as detrimental 

To you now as it was before. 

That day when you don’t require

Closure to help you pave your way

Anymore. The sun keeps setting,

And the world keeps on turning

But you’re no longer mourning 

The loss of your imaginary life,

Because you don’t want to be 

Anywhere but here, on this night.

You realize, closure doesn’t exist

The way you always imagined that

It did. Maybe, all the closure you 

Ever needed was completed when 

It started to hurt instead of heal you.

Maybe your closure, was when you

Had to dust yourself off, all alone with

No help. Or maybe your closure, was

When you knew things wouldn’t be the

Same, as they were then ever again.

Or, maybe as you’re reading this your 

Closure is realizing that you don’t know

The old you, and they wouldn’t even 

Recognize you, because you’ve come 

So far from where you were at the start

And now, you have all the closure you

Need, to lead a happy life.
