The Door
My door has remained open
Ever since you left
Still standing in the doorway
Hoping you would return
I had moments of closing it
Always with a second guess
Some nights I'd close it shut
But unlocked for you
Other times just cracked
Sometimes I've had intruders
Sometimes invited guests
But nobody that I wanted enough
To make my home their home
Deep down in the pit
Of my child's tummy
I've reserved this door
For you
I knew you would come again
And I've welcomed you back in
I've welcomed you to stay
But you're wanting to get up
Put your coat back on
And leave
Run!
Run Far away from this door
That is wide open just for you
Just say the words
And I'll make sure to shut it
Double lock it
And never, ever
Let it open for you again
