Come In
That thing
that can't go away
that earning
that hopes for a better day,
That fantasy
that's free from the mind
that longing
that waits for your love.
Are you coming?
are you half way?
I am waiting
by the doorway
then you knock
when I have given up
gone inside
and locked the door
I hear your voice
calling
but can't let you in,
I feel your breath
in the stillness you bring
still can't let you in,
Me in my empty room
you standing at my door
waiting...
I know you are still there
Don't wait for me
to let you in
just come in
and find yourself a sit
a place
I am not hospitable
when you know my weakness.
