Knock♥
Life keeps knocking, but I don’t go to the door.
I’m still here letting my tears hit the floor.
I’m scared to hear what life has to say.
So I’ll put it off until another day.
I’m not strong enough for more bad news.
Lately all I seem to do is lose.
So maybe if I ignore the knock it will go away.
And maybe then I’ll be able to say that I’m okay.
I’ll just ignore reality and live in my dreams.
And not care if my world’s tearing at the seams.
I’ll look past the destruction and pretend it’s not there.
And then maybe I’ll learn to forget to care.
I’ll just listen to my music and close my eyes.
And let my worries float to the sky.
Then I’ll be okay I think I can do this.
I can pretend that there nothing and no one to miss.
I’ll just keep to myself and close the blinds.
And leave all my fears and my life behind.
It’s a good plan is what I’ll keep telling myself.
I’ll just keep my story on its own separate shelf.
It will all work out and I’ll be okay.
That is until the knocks come back into play.
Then reality will open the door.
And remind me of all that life has in store.
Of the trials and pain I must endure.
And I know then I’m on its lure.
I’ll be back on track to the chaos of life,
Trying to figure out what to do through the strife.
But as I push through I can see a light.
And I know that something good is in sight.
I blink my eyes to clear my vision.
And I see someone come towards me making excisions.
He’s cutting away all the dark things.
He’s replacing them with hopes and dreams.
He’s getting closer with every single move.
And I can’t find a reason to disapprove.
He looks up and his eyes meet mine.
And then and there our hearts entwined.
He was there to protect me to make me new.
To show me just what life can do.
It can be happy and you can find a smile.
You just have to make life worthwhile.
So he took my hand and held it tight.
And led us through the new found light.
Now I see the happiness I’d dreamed of.
I just needed to be opened to a thing called love.
