Doorstep

I am the door she ran through;
Broken, off the hinges, jammed in place 
I lie on the floor that once brushed off my shoulders 
Unable to move as I stare at the ceiling 
Watching her walk away as she steps over me 
For, I was just an obstacle for her to clear 
Life's view is narrowed by my perspective 
Looking for a quick pick me up 
My dead weight is too heavy for the weak to lift 
Easy has left me when difficult moved in 
I need to fix my splints and oil my hinges
