Let Me In
Why don't you let me in?
Is your heart and soul safely locked
behind your front door?
You never gave me a key.
Persistently for over a year
I've been banging my fists
upon your door,
but there's no answer.
Can you hear me?
My heart is close to explosion...
Can you feel me beating?
Let me in! Let me in!
There'll be no bruising,
blood, or body slamming.
I've run out of time and patience;
I'm just going home.
You're oblivious to
my lifetime love guarantee.
Such an exquisite gift offer,
tagged with only your name.
It can't be returned
to the store.
I won't permit
this suffering anymore.
