Olive Branch

Open a door but go slow, 
listen I’ve been through enough;
Inviting yourself when you screwed up; 
Victim of your inability to see 
everything you did from the beginning; 
Branches must be extended gently;
Revolving doors go nowhere fast  
always on the tail of words  
nothing substantial standing behind them;
Culled by a flimsy olive branch; 
Here we go again.
