It took a long time to realise this is where I should really be,
And I know there’s no reason to believe the one outside is me,
If today is the day you’ll open, there’s just no way of knowing,
And yet I stand, day after day, still calling out and knocking.
Despite the sun burning hotter to beat me away into shelter,
I stand, knowing it is just your anger trying to make me swelter,
The blistering heat, cannot knock me into submission, afraid,
Because I know, that your embrace is the only true shade.
Despite the rain pouring down on my already aching heart,
I stand, knowing it is just your sorrow at seeing us apart,
The pounding downpour, cannot drench me into running, alone,
Because I know, that getting your acceptance is the only way to atone.
Despite the night scaring me away from your sight,
I stand, knowing it is just your apprehensions seeing light,
The pervasive darkness, cannot scare me into quitting, unseen,
Because I know, that your belief is all that needs to be seen.
Despite the mist descending on the curtains of my eyes,
I stand, knowing it is just your hurt resting upon my lies,
The engulfing screen, cannot keep me away from the door, untouched,
Because I know, that your healing is all that remains unreached.
You can bolt the door, pull the curtains down on every window,
And stay imprisoned in the belief that one day I will simply go,
It is not the door, but the truth, you are unconsciously ignoring,
Because, you know, either let me in, or forever listen, to me knocking.
This one is a fun one for the Gazebo. Based on my own needs to let go of the serious ink that has been flowing in my notebook for a while, and take a break. It is partly inspired by an OST track for the TV series Fairly Legal that goes on about ‘let me in’. Besides, need to relax and take a shot at mushy after quite a while. So make of it what you will.
