Locking You Out

Locking You Out

I thought about locking you out

when you left me waiting

It wasn't the first time

although this felt different

more real?

less real?

Would I feel as safe

enclosed without you?

I knew the answer...

I imagined you angry

pounding on your door

You would tell me to leave

"Never come back!"

but this is all a lie...

I knew better

I thought about the first time I met you

your eyes soft

voice soft

I found myself

wanting

I thought about locking you out...
