Door to Your Heart

By FallinTears

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

If I knock on the door… And nobody answers Do I come back later? Or do I walk on in? If I stand there long enough Will you let me inside? Out of pity… Out of spite… out of pain? If I sit on the doorstep For enough minutes Days Weeks Months Years Will you let me in… Just because I happen to be there? If I stand there Until I’m old and gray Waiting just for you Then will you let me in? If I knock on the door… And nobody answers Do I come back later? Or do I walk on in?If I keep telling you I'm here... and you don't open up to me... when do I give up? Do I give up? Will you EVER let me in on the inside... and tell me t hings... like I tell you. THis is for a dear friend of mine who I can almost bet will never let me in... It means so much to me... I hope it touched you too.
