Lynette Munich Poet Narrative

Keep On Knocking

To live a life of splendor
   A life of joy, comfort, and wonder

You knocked...
   I opened.

Trust me, believe me, stand by me
   The one in your dreams, let me be

You knocked...
   I opened.

Walls slowly came crumbling down
  Unaware of what was bound

You knocked...
  I opened.

If only you came with a caution sign
   so I could at least resign

You knocked...
   I still opened.

Let the truth be told
   For this I am too old

You knocked...
   I cannot open.

Was I the fool
   to be had by such a tool?

You continued to knock...
   I will not open.

Farewell to you and your cruel lies
   I turn a deaf ear to all your cries

You knocked...
   I will NEVER open!
