A DOOR OPENS:

Click,
I thought you were asleep,
But you’ve returned to wake the hurt,
Click,
The door,
That familiar tone,
That loaded voice,

The dark wakes up,
Leaves the light on,
Slow shuffles,
Are you sleeping here then?

Lay on top of the bed fully clothed,
Listening to late night radio,
Alarms & consequences,
Meditation,
Pen & ink,

I wont be gone long,
I’m coming back,
Promise?
Yeah,
I promise
